net: fix incorrect credentials passing

2013-05-01T16:46:20Z

[ Upstream commit 83f1b4ba917db5dc5a061a44b3403ddb6e783494 ] Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Eric W. Biederman Cc: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: David S.

netfilter: don't reset nf_trace in nf_reset()

2013-05-01T16:46:17Z

[ Upstream commit 124dff01afbdbff251f0385beca84ba1b9adda68 ] Commit 130549fe ("netfilter: reset nf_trace in nf_reset") added code to reset nf_trace in nf_reset(). This is wrong and unnecessary. nf_reset() is used in the following cases: - when passing packets up the the socket layer, at which point we want to release all netfilter references that might keep modules pinned while the packet is queued. nf_trace doesn't matter anymore at this point. - when encapsulating or decapsulating IPsec packets. We want to continue tracing these packets after IPsec processing. - when passing packets through virtual network devices. Only devices on that encapsulate in IPv4/v6 matter since otherwise nf_trace is not used anymore. Its not entirely clear whether those packets should be traced after that, however we've always done that. - when passing packets through virtual network devices that make the packet cross network namespace boundaries. This is the only cases where we clearly want to reset nf_trace and is also what the original patch intended to fix. Add a new function nf_reset_trace() and use it in dev_forward_skb() to fix this properly. Signed-off-by: Patrick McHardy Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: count hw_addr syncs so that unsync works properly.

2013-05-01T16:46:16Z

[ Upstream commit 4543fbefe6e06a9e40d9f2b28d688393a299f079 ] A few drivers use dev_uc_sync/unsync to synchronize the address lists from master down to slave/lower devices. In some cases (bond/team) a single address list is synched down to multiple devices. At the time of unsync, we have a leak in these lower devices, because "synced" is treated as a boolean and the address will not be unsynced for anything after the first device/call. Treat "synced" as a count (same as refcount) and allow all unsync calls to work. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Add file_ns_capable() helper function for open-time capability checking

2013-04-26T19:18:20Z

commit 935d8aabd4331f47a89c3e1daa5779d23cf244ee upstream. Nothing is using it yet, but this will allow us to delay the open-time checks to use time, without breaking the normal UNIX permission semantics where permissions are determined by the opener (and the file descriptor can then be passed to a different process, or the process can drop capabilities).

vm: add vm_iomap_memory() helper function

2013-04-25T19:51:24Z

commit b4cbb197c7e7a68dbad0d491242e3ca67420c13e upstream. Various drivers end up replicating the code to mmap() their memory buffers into user space, and our core memory remapping function may be very flexible but it is unnecessarily complicated for the common cases to use. Our internal VM uses pfn's ("page frame numbers") which simplifies things for the VM, and allows us to pass physical addresses around in a denser and more efficient format than passing a "phys_addr_t" around, and having to shift it up and down by the page size. But it just means that drivers end up doing that shifting instead at the interface level. It also means that drivers end up mucking around with internal VM things like the vma details (vm_pgoff, vm_start/end) way more than they really need to. So this just exports a function to map a certain physical memory range into user space (using a phys_addr_t based interface that is much more natural for a driver) and hides all the complexity from the driver. Some drivers will still end up tweaking the vm_page_prot details for things like prefetching or cacheability etc, but that's actually relevant to the driver, rather than caring about what the page offset of the mapping is into the particular IO memory region.

ssb: implement spurious tone avoidance

2013-04-25T19:51:23Z

commit 46fc4c909339f5a84d1679045297d9d2fb596987 upstream. And make use of it in b43. This fixes a regression introduced with 49d55cef5b1925a5c1efb6aaddaa40fc7c693335 b43: N-PHY: implement spurious tone avoidance This commit made BCM4322 use only MCS 0 on channel 13, which of course resulted in performance drop (down to 0.7Mb/s).

KVM: Allow cross page reads and writes from cached translations.

2013-04-25T19:51:11Z

commit 8f964525a121f2ff2df948dac908dcc65be21b5b upstream. This patch adds support for kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init functions for reads and writes that will cross a page. If the range falls within the same memslot, then this will be a fast operation. If the range is split between two memslots, then the slower kvm_read_guest and kvm_write_guest are used. Tested: Test against kvm_clock unit tests. Signed-off-by: Andrew Honig Signed-off-by: Gleb Natapov Cc: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

kthread: Prevent unpark race which puts threads on the wrong cpu

2013-04-25T19:51:09Z

commit f2530dc71cf0822f90bb63ea4600caaef33a66bb upstream. The smpboot threads rely on the park/unpark mechanism which binds per cpu threads on a particular core. Though the functionality is racy: CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 unpark(T) wake_up_process(T) clear(SHOULD_PARK) T runs leave parkme() due to !SHOULD_PARK bind_to(CPU2) BUG_ON(wrong CPU) We cannot let the tasks move themself to the target CPU as one of those tasks is actually the migration thread itself, which requires that it starts running on the target cpu right away. The solution to this problem is to prevent wakeups in park mode which are not from unpark(). That way we can guarantee that the association of the task to the target cpu is working correctly. Add a new task state (TASK_PARKED) which prevents other wakeups and use this state explicitly for the unpark wakeup. Peter noticed: Also, since the task state is visible to userspace and all the parked tasks are still in the PID space, its a good hint in ps and friends that these tasks aren't really there for the moment. The migration thread has another related issue. CPU0 CPU1 Bring up CPU2 create_thread(T) park(T) wait_for_completion() parkme() complete() sched_set_stop_task() schedule(TASK_PARKED) The sched_set_stop_task() call is issued while the task is on the runqueue of CPU1 and that confuses the hell out of the stop_task class on that cpu. So we need the same synchronizaion before sched_set_stop_task().

ftrace: Move ftrace_filter_lseek out of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section

2013-04-17T04:48:29Z

commit 7f49ef69db6bbf756c0abca7e9b65b32e999eec8 upstream. As ftrace_filter_lseek is now used with ftrace_pid_fops, it needs to be moved out of the #ifdef CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE section as the ftrace_pid_fops is defined when DYNAMIC_FTRACE is not.

tracing: Fix possible NULL pointer dereferences

2013-04-17T04:48:29Z

commit 6a76f8c0ab19f215af2a3442870eeb5f0e81998d upstream. Currently set_ftrace_pid and set_graph_function files use seq_lseek for their fops. However seq_open() is called only for FMODE_READ in the fops->open() so that if an user tries to seek one of those file when she open it for writing, it sees NULL seq_file and then panic. It can be easily reproduced with following command: $ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ echo 1234 | sudo tee -a set_ftrace_pid In this example, GNU coreutils' tee opens the file with fopen(, "a") and then the fopen() internally calls lseek().
