rcu: Move RCU_TRACE to lib/Kconfig.debug

2012-02-21T17:03:26Z

The RCU_TRACE kernel parameter has always been intended for debugging, not for production use. Formalize this by moving RCU_TRACE from init/Kconfig to lib/Kconfig.debug. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney

Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform

2012-01-17T21:17:01Z

This patch provides functionality to audit system call events on the ARM platform. The implementation was based off the structure of the MIPS platform and information in this (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/arm/2009-October/000382.html) mailing list thread. The required audit_syscall_exit and audit_syscall_entry checks were added to ptrace using the standard registers for system call values (r0 through r3). A thread information flag was added for auditing (TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT) and a meta-flag was added (_TIF_SYSCALL_WORK) to simplify modifications to the syscall entry/exit. Now, if either the TRACE flag is set or the AUDIT flag is set, the syscall_trace function will be executed. The prober changes were made to Kconfig to allow CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL to be enabled. Due to platform availability limitations, this patch was only tested on the Android platform running the modified "android-goldfish-2.6.29" kernel. A test compile was performed using Code Sourcery's cross-compilation toolset and the current linux-3.0 stable kernel. The changes compile without error. I'm hoping, due to the simple modifications, the patch is "obviously correct". Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Husted Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

audit: only allow tasks to set their loginuid if it is -1

2012-01-17T21:17:00Z

At the moment we allow tasks to set their loginuid if they have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL. In reality we want tasks to set the loginuid when they log in and it be impossible to ever reset. We had to make it mutable even after it was once set (with the CAP) because on update and admin might have to restart sshd. Now sshd would get his loginuid and the next user which logged in using ssh would not be able to set his loginuid. Systemd has changed how userspace works and allowed us to make the kernel work the way it should. With systemd users (even admins) are not supposed to restart services directly. The system will restart the service for them. Thus since systemd is going to loginuid==-1, sshd would get -1, and sshd would be allowed to set a new loginuid without special permissions. If an admin in this system were to manually start an sshd he is inserting himself into the system chain of trust and thus, logically, it's his loginuid that should be used! Since we have old systems I make this a Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Eric Paris

c/r: introduce CHECKPOINT_RESTORE symbol

2012-01-13T04:13:12Z

For checkpoint/restore we need auxilary features being compiled into the kernel, such as additional prctl codes, /proc//map_files and etc... but same time these features are not mandatory for a regular kernel so CHECKPOINT_RESTORE config symbol should bring a way to disable them all at once if one wish to get rid of additional functionality.

Basic kernel memory functionality for the Memory Controller

This patch lays down the foundation for the kernel memory component of the Memory Controller. As of today, I am only laying down the following files: * memory.independent_kmem_limit * memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes (currently ignored) * memory.kmem.usage_in_bytes (always zero) Signed-off-by: Glauber Costa CC: Kirill A.
