2012-10-10module: signature checking hookRusty Russell
We do a very simple search for a particular string appended to the module (which is cache-hot and about to be SHA'd anyway). There's both a config option and a boot parameter which control whether we accept or fail with unsigned modules and modules that are signed with an unknown key. If module signing is enabled, the kernel will be tainted if a module is loaded that is unsigned or has a signature for which we don't have the key.

2012-10-01NFS: Add nfs4_unique_id boot parameterChuck Lever
An optional boot parameter is introduced to allow client administrators to specify a string that the Linux NFS client can insert into its nfs_client_id4 id string, to make it both more globally unique, and to ensure that it doesn't change even if the client's nodename changes. If this boot parameter is not specified, the client's nodename is used, as before. Client installation procedures can create a unique string (typically, a UUID) which remains unchanged during the lifetime of that client instance. This works just like creating a UUID for the label of the system's root and boot volumes.

2012-09-23rcu: Control grace-period duration from sysfsPaul E. McKenney
Although almost everyone is well-served by the defaults, some uses of RCU benefit from shorter grace periods, while others benefit more from the greater efficiency provided by longer grace periods. Situations requiring a large number of grace periods to elapse (and wireshark startup has been called out as an example of this) are helped by lower-latency grace periods. Furthermore, in some embedded applications, people are willing to accept a small degradation in update efficiency (due to there being more of the shorter grace-period operations) in order to gain the lower latency. In contrast, those few systems with thousands of CPUs need longer grace periods because the CPU overhead of a grace period rises roughly linearly with the number of CPUs. Such systems normally do not make much use of facilities that require large numbers of grace periods to elapse, so this is a good tradeoff. Therefore, this commit allows the durations to be controlled from sysfs. There are two sysfs parameters, one named "jiffies_till_first_fqs" that specifies the delay in jiffies from the end of grace-period initialization until the first attempt to force quiescent states, and the other named "jiffies_till_next_fqs" that specifies the delay (again in jiffies) between subsequent attempts to force quiescent states. They both default to three jiffies, which is compatible with the old hard-coded behavior. At some future time, it may be possible to automatically increase the grace-period length with the number of CPUs, but we do not yet have sufficient data to do a good job. Preliminary data indicates that we should add an addiitonal jiffy to each of the delays for every 200 CPUs in the system, but more experimentation is needed. For now, the number of systems with more than 1,000 CPUs is small enough that this can be relegated to boot-time hand tuning. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2012-09-07ima: add appraise action keywords and default rulesMimi Zohar
Unlike the IMA measurement policy, the appraise policy can not be dependent on runtime process information, such as the task uid, as the 'security.ima' xattr is written on file close and must be updated each time the file changes, regardless of the current task uid. This patch extends the policy language with 'fowner', defines an appraise policy, which appraises all files owned by root, and defines 'ima_appraise_tcb', a new boot command line option, to enable the appraise policy. Changelog v3: - separate the measure from the appraise rules in order to support measuring without appraising and appraising without measuring. - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail - update default appraise policy for cgroups Changelog v1: - don't appraise RAMFS (Dmitry Kasatkin) - merged rest of "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" commit (Dmtiry Kasatkin) ima_must_appraise_or_measure() called ima_match_policy twice, which searched the policy for a matching rule. Once for a matching measurement rule and subsequently for an appraisal rule. Searching the policy twice is unnecessary overhead, which could be noticeable with a large policy. The new version of ima_must_appraise_or_measure() does everything in a single iteration using a new version of ima_match_policy(). It returns IMA_MEASURE, IMA_APPRAISE mask. With the use of action mask only one efficient matching function is enough. Removed other specific versions of matching functions.

2012-09-07ima: integrity appraisal extensionMimi Zohar
IMA currently maintains an integrity measurement list used to assert the integrity of the running system to a third party. The IMA-appraisal extension adds local integrity validation and enforcement of the measurement against a "good" value stored as an extended attribute 'security.ima'. The initial methods for validating 'security.ima' are hashed based, which provides file data integrity, and digital signature based, which in addition to providing file data integrity, provides authenticity. This patch creates and maintains the 'security.ima' xattr, containing the file data hash measurement. Protection of the xattr is provided by EVM, if enabled and configured. Based on policy, IMA calls evm_verifyxattr() to verify a file's metadata integrity and, assuming success, compares the file's current hash value with the one stored as an extended attribute in 'security.ima'. Changelov v4: - changed iint cache flags to hex values Changelog v3: - change appraisal default for filesystems without xattr support to fail Changelog v2: - fix audit msg 'res' value - removed unused 'ima_appraise=' values Changelog v1: - removed unused iint mutex (Dmitry Kasatkin) - setattr hook must not reset appraised (Dmitry Kasatkin) - evm_verifyxattr() now differentiates between no 'security.evm' xattr (INTEGRITY_NOLABEL) and no EVM 'protected' xattrs included in the 'security.evm' (INTEGRITY_NOXATTRS). - replace hash_status with ima_status (Dmitry Kasatkin) - re-initialize slab element ima_status on free (Dmitry Kasatkin) - include 'security.ima' in EVM if CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE, not CONFIG_IMA - merged half "ima: ima_must_appraise_or_measure API change" (Dmitry Kasatkin) - removed unnecessary error variable in process_measurement() (Dmitry Kasatkin) - use ima_inode_post_setattr() stub function, if IMA_APPRAISE not configured (moved ima_inode_post_setattr() to ima_appraise.c) - make sure ima_collect_measurement() can read file Changelog: - add 'iint' to evm_verifyxattr() call (Dimitry Kasatkin) - fix the race condition between chmod, which takes the i_mutex and then iint->mutex, and ima_file_free() and process_measurement(), which take the locks in the reverse order, by eliminating iint->mutex.

2012-08-23x86/smp: Don't ever patch back to UP if we unplug cpusRusty Russell
We still patch SMP instructions to UP variants if we boot with a single CPU, but not at any other time. In particular, not if we unplug CPUs to return to a single cpu. Paul McKenney points out: mean offline overhead is 6251/48=130.2 milliseconds. If I remove the alternatives_smp_switch() from the offline path [...] the mean offline overhead is 550/42=13.1 milliseconds Basically, we're never going to get those 120ms back, and the code is pretty messy. We get rid of: 1) The "smp-alt-once" boot option. It's actually "smp-alt-boot", the documentation is wrong. It's now the default. 2) The skip_smp_alternatives flag used by suspend. 3) arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_begin() and arch_disable_nonboot_cpus_end() which were only used to set this one flag.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "The most important part of these updates is the IOMMU groups code enhancement written by Alex Williamson. It abstracts the problem that a given hardware IOMMU can't isolate any given device from any other device (e.g. 32 bit PCI devices can't usually be isolated). Devices that can't be isolated are grouped together. This code is required for the upcoming VFIO framework. Another IOMMU-API change written by me is the introduction of domain attributes. This makes it easier to handle GART-like IOMMUs with the IOMMU-API because now the start-address and the size of the domain address space can be queried. Besides that there are a few cleanups and fixes for the NVidia Tegra IOMMU drivers and the reworked init-code for the AMD IOMMU. The latter is from my patch-set to support interrupt remapping.

Although making RCU_FANOUT_LEAF a kernel configuration parameter rather than a fixed constant makes it easier for people to decrease cache-miss overhead for large systems, it is of little help for people who must run a single pre-built kernel binary.

git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski: "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem (mainly for ARM architecture). First one is Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted. The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no big chunk is allocated. Once the alloc request is issued, the framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big chunk of physically contiguous memory. For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles: - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator': http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/ - 'CMA and ARM': http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/ - 'A deep dive into CMA': http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/ - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous versions: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204 The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping subsystem. The core implementation has been changed to use common struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2. This allows to use more than one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the struct device basis. The first client of this new infractructure is dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the core, common code. The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework. This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware. For more information please refer to the following thread: http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

2012-05-25tick: Add tick skew boot optionMike Galbraith
Let the user decide whether power consumption or jitter is the more important consideration for their machines. Quoting removal commit af5ab277ded04bd9bc6b048c5a2f0e7d70ef0867: "Historically, Linux has tried to make the regular timer tick on the various CPUs not happen at the same time, to avoid contention on xtime_lock. Nowadays, with the tickless kernel, this contention no longer happens since time keeping and updating are done differently. In addition, this skew is actually hurting power consumption in a measurable way on many-core systems." Problems: - Contrary to the above, systems do encounter contention on both xtime_lock and RCU structure locks when the tick is synchronized. - Moderate sized RT systems suffer intolerable jitter due to the tick being synchronized. - SGI reports the same for their large systems. - Fully utilized systems reap no power saving benefit from skew removal, but do suffer from resulting induced lock contention. - 0209f649 rcu: limit rcu_node leaf-level fanout This patch was born to combat lock contention which testing showed to have been _induced by_ skew removal. Skew the tick, contention disappeared virtually completely.

They were mostly limited to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than 64MB of RAM.

So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA. There is no point carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it; wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git grep'ping over it, and so on." Let's see if anybody screams. It generally has compiled, and James Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines. So in *theory* there may be users out there. But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't argue for keeping MCA support either. So we could bring it back. But somebody had better speak up and talk about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern kernels for us to do that.

2012-05-21ARM: integrate CMA with DMA-mapping subsystemMarek Szyprowski
This patch adds support for CMA to dma-mapping subsystem for ARM architecture. By default a global CMA area is used, but specific devices are allowed to have their private memory areas if required (they can be created with dma_declare_contiguous() function during board initialisation). Contiguous memory areas reserved for DMA are remapped with 2-level page tables on boot. Once a buffer is requested, a low memory kernel mapping is updated to to match requested memory access type. GFP_ATOMIC allocations are performed from special pool which is created early during boot. This way remapping page attributes is not needed on allocation time. CMA has been enabled unconditionally for ARMv6+ systems.

2012-05-21drivers: add Contiguous Memory AllocatorMarek Szyprowski
The Contiguous Memory Allocator is a set of helper functions for DMA mapping framework that improves allocations of contiguous memory chunks. CMA grabs memory on system boot, marks it with MIGRATE_CMA migrate type and gives back to the system. Kernel is allowed to allocate only movable pages within CMA's managed memory so that it can be used for example for page cache when DMA mapping do not use it. On dma_alloc_from_contiguous() request such pages are migrated out of CMA area to free required contiguous block and fulfill the request. This allows to allocate large contiguous chunks of memory at any time assuming that there is enough free memory available in the system.

2012-05-17MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.Paul Gortmaker
Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB of memory. A quick search on the internet, and you see that even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series. This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core kernel code and from the x86 architecture. There is no point in carrying this any further into the future. One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

Previously, we didn't enumerate device 03:01.0, so USB and the network didn't work. This patch adds a DMI quirk to scan all device numbers, not just 0, below a downstream port.

2012-04-12Merge branch 'drm-intel-next' of ↵Dave Airlie
git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm-intel into drm-core-next Daniel Vetter wrote First pull request for 3.5-next, slightly large than usual because new things kept coming in since the last pull for 3.4. Highlights: - first batch of hw enablement for vlv (Jesse et al) and hsw (Eugeni). pci ids are not yet added, and there's still quite a few patches to merge (mostly modesetting). To make QA easier I've decided to merge this stuff in pieces. - loads of cleanups and prep patches spurred by the above. Especially vlv is a real frankenstein chip, but also hsw is stretching our driver's code design. Expect more to come in this area for 3.5. - more gmbus fixes, cleanups and improvements by Daniel Kurtz. Again, there are more patches needed (and some already queued up), but I wanted to split this a bit for better testing. - pwrite/pread rework and retuning. This series has been in the works for a few months already and a lot of i-g-t tests have been created for it. Now it's finally ready to be merged. Note that one patch in this series touches include/pagemap.h, that patch is acked-by akpm. - reduce mappable pressure and relocation throughput improvements from Chris. - mmap offset exhaustion mitigation by Chris Wilson. - a start at figuring out which codepaths in our messy dri1/ums+gem/kms driver we actually need to support by bailing out of unsupported case. The driver now refuses to load without kms on gen6+ and disallows a few ioctls that userspace never used in certain cases. More of this will definitely come. - More decoupling of global gtt and ppgtt. - Improved dual-link lvds detection by Takashi Iwai. - Shut up the compiler + plus fix the fallout (Ben) - Inverted panel brightness handling (mostly Acer manages to break things in this way). - Small fixlets and adjustements and some minor things to help debugging. Regression-wise QA reported quite a few issues on ivb, but all of them turned out to be hw stability issues which are already fixed in drm-intel-fixes (QA runs the nightly regression tests on -next alone, without -fixes automatically merged in). There's still one issue open on snb, it looks like occlusion query writes are not quite as cache coherent as we've expected. With some of the pwrite adjustements we can now reliably hit this.

Pull nfsd changes from Bruce Fields: Highlights: - Benny Halevy and Tigran Mkrtchyan implemented some more 4.1 features, moving us closer to a complete 4.1 implementation. - Bernd Schubert fixed a long-standing problem with readdir cookies on ext2/3/4. - Jeff Layton performed a long-overdue overhaul of the server reboot recovery code which will allow us to deprecate the current code (a rather unusual user of the vfs), and give us some needed flexibility for further improvements. - Like the client, we now support numeric uid's and gid's in the auth_sys case, allowing easier upgrades from NFSv2/v3 to v4.x. Plus miscellaneous bugfixes and cleanup. Thanks to everyone! There are also some delegation fixes waiting on vfs review that I suppose will have to wait for 3.5. With that done I think we'll finally turn off the "EXPERIMENTAL" dependency for v4 (though that's mostly symbolic as it's been on by default in distro's for a while). And the list of 4.1 todo's should be achievable for 3.5 as well: http://wiki.linux-nfs.org/wiki/index.php/Server_4.0_and_4.1_issues though we may still want a bit more experience with it before turning it on by default. * 'for-3.4' of git://linux-nfs.org/~bfields/linux: (55 commits) nfsd: only register cld pipe notifier when CONFIG_NFSD_V4 is enabled nfsd4: use auth_unix unconditionally on backchannel nfsd: fix NULL pointer dereference in cld_pipe_downcall nfsd4: memory corruption in numeric_name_to_id() sunrpc: skip portmap calls on sessions backchannel nfsd4: allow numeric idmapping nfsd: don't allow legacy client tracker init for anything but init_net nfsd: add notifier to handle mount/unmount of rpc_pipefs sb nfsd: add the infrastructure to handle the cld upcall nfsd: add a header describing upcall to nfsdcld nfsd: add a per-net-namespace struct for nfsd sunrpc: create nfsd dir in rpc_pipefs nfsd: add nfsd4_client_tracking_ops struct and a way to set it nfsd: convert nfs4_client->cl_cb_flags to a generic flags field NFSD: Fix nfs4_verifier memory alignment NFSD: Fix warnings when NFSD_DEBUG is not defined nfsd: vfs_llseek() with 32 or 64 bit offsets (hashes) nfsd: rename 'int access' to 'int may_flags' in nfsd_open() ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type fs: add new FMODE flags: FMODE_32bithash and FMODE_64bithash ...
2012-03-26nfsd4: allow numeric idmappingJ. Bruce Fields
Mimic the client side by providing a module parameter that turns off idmapping in the auth_sys case, for backwards compatibility with NFSv2 and NFSv3. Unlike in the client case, we don't have any way to negotiate, since the client can return an error to us if it doesn't like the id that we return to it in (for example) a getattr call. However, it has always been possible for servers to return numeric id's, and as far as we're aware clients have always been able to handle them. Also, in the auth_sys case clients already need to have numeric id's the same between client and server. Therefore we believe it's safe to default this to on; but the module parameter is available to return to previous behavior if this proves to be a problem in some unexpected setup. Signed-off-by: J.
