ee18d64c1f KEYS: Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring on its parent [try #6]
Add a keyctl to install a process's session keyring onto its parent.  This
replaces the parent's session keyring.  Because the COW credential code does
not permit one process to change another process's credentials directly, the
change is deferred until userspace next starts executing again.  Normally this
will be after a wait*() syscall.

To support this, three new security hooks have been provided:
cred_alloc_blank() to allocate unset security creds, cred_transfer() to fill in
the blank security creds and key_session_to_parent() - which asks the LSM if
the process may replace its parent's session keyring.

The replacement may only happen if the process has the same ownership details
as its parent, and the process has LINK permission on the session keyring, and
the session keyring is owned by the process, and the LSM permits it.

Note that this requires alteration to each architecture's notify_resume path.
This has been done for all arches barring blackfin, m68k* and xtensa, all of
which need assembly alteration to support TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.  This allows the
replacement to be performed at the point the parent process resumes userspace
execution.

This allows the userspace AFS pioctl emulation to fully emulate newpag() and
the VIOCSETTOK and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, all of which require the ability to
alter the parent process's PAG membership.  However, since kAFS doesn't use
PAGs per se, but rather dumps the keys into the session keyring, the session
keyring of the parent must be replaced if, for example, VIOCSETTOK is passed
the newpag flag.

This can be tested with the following program:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <keyutils.h>

	#define KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT	18

	#define OSERROR(X, S) do { if ((long)(X) == -1) { perror(S); exit(1); } } while(0)

	int main(int argc, char **argv)
	{
		key_serial_t keyring, key;
		long ret;

		keyring = keyctl_join_session_keyring(argv[1]);
		OSERROR(keyring, "keyctl_join_session_keyring");

		key = add_key("user", "a", "b", 1, keyring);
		OSERROR(key, "add_key");

		ret = keyctl(KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT);
		OSERROR(ret, "KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT");

		return 0;
	}

Compiled and linked with -lkeyutils, you should see something like:

	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	355907932 --alswrv   4043    -1   \_ keyring: _uid.4043
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: _ses
	1055658746 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ /tmp/newpag hello
	[dhowells@andromeda ~]$ keyctl show
	Session Keyring
	       -3 --alswrv   4043  4043  keyring: hello
	340417692 --alswrv   4043  4043   \_ user: a

Where the test program creates a new session keyring, sticks a user key named
'a' into it and then installs it on its parent.

5d135440fa KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6]
Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys.  This involved
erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them.  At that
point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner.

Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota
consumption reduced as appropriate.

Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected
immediately.

Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in
/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed.  The default
is 5 minutes.

da470db16c [CPUFREQ] update Doc for cpuinfo_cur_freq and scaling_cur_freq
I think the way "cpuinfo_cur_info" and "scaling_cur_info" are defined under
./Documentation/cpu-freq/user-guide.txt can be enhanced. Currently, they are
both defined the same way: "Current speed/frequency" of the CPU, in KHz".

Below is a patch that distinguishes one from the other.

Regards,

-----------------------------------------
Update description for "cpuinfo_cur_freq" and "scaling_cur_freq".

Some of the wording is drawn from comments found in
./drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c: cpufreq_out_of_sync():

 *      @old_freq: CPU frequency the kernel thinks the CPU runs at
 *      @new_freq: CPU frequency the CPU actually runs at

1e1030dccb sh: nmi_debug support.
This implements support for NMI debugging that was shamelessly copied
from the avr32 port. A bit of special magic is needed in the interrupt
exception path given that the NMI exception handler is stubbed in to the
regular exception handling table despite being reported in INTEVT. So we
mangle the lookup and kick off an EXPEVT-style exception dispatch from
the INTEVT path for exceptions that do_IRQ() has no chance of handling.
As a result, we also drop the evt2irq() conversion from the do_IRQ() path
and just do it in assembly.

36ce99c1dc ALSA: Add debug module option
Add debug module option to snd core.
This controls the debug print level.  When CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE
is set, you can suppress the debug messages by giving or changing this
parameter to a lower value.  debug=0 means no debug messsages.
As default, it's set to the verbose level 2.

Since this option can be changed dynamically via sysfs file, you can
suppress the verbose debug messages on the fly, which wasn't possible
before.

6591b49387 tracing: Add vim script to enable folding for function_graph traces
function_graph traces look like nested function calls, complete with
braces denoting the start and end of functions.  function-graph-fold.vim
teaches vim how to fold these functions, to make it more convenient to
browse them.

To use, :source function-graph-fold.vim while viewing a function_graph
trace, or use "view -S function-graph-fold.vim some-trace" to load it
from the command-line together with a trace.  You can then use the usual
vim fold commands, such as "za", to open and close nested functions.
While closed, a fold will show the total time taken for a call, as would
normally appear on the line with the closing brace.  Folded functions
will not include finish_task_switch(), so folding should remain
relatively sane even through a context switch.

Note that this will almost certainly only work well with a single-CPU
trace (e.g. trace-cmd report --cpu 1).  It also takes some time to run
(a few seconds for a large trace on my laptop).  Nevertheless, I found
it very handy to get an overview of a trace and then drill down on
problematic calls.

0753ba01e1 mm: revert "oom: move oom_adj value"
The commit 2ff05b2b (oom: move oom_adj value) moveed the oom_adj value to
the mm_struct.  It was a very good first step for sanitize OOM.

However Paul Menage reported the commit makes regression to his job
scheduler.  Current OOM logic can kill OOM_DISABLED process.

Why? His program has the code of similar to the following.

	...
	set_oom_adj(OOM_DISABLE); /* The job scheduler never killed by oom */
	...
	if (vfork() == 0) {
		set_oom_adj(0); /* Invoked child can be killed */
		execve("foo-bar-cmd");
	}
	....

vfork() parent and child are shared the same mm_struct.  then above
set_oom_adj(0) doesn't only change oom_adj for vfork() child, it's also
change oom_adj for vfork() parent.  Then, vfork() parent (job scheduler)
lost OOM immune and it was killed.

Actually, fork-setting-exec idiom is very frequently used in userland program.
We must not break this assumption.

Then, this patch revert commit 2ff05b2b and related commit.

Reverted commit list
---------------------
- commit 2ff05b2b4e (oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to mm_struct)
- commit 4d8b9135c3 (oom: avoid unnecessary mm locking and scanning for OOM_DISABLE)
- commit 8123681022 (oom: only oom kill exiting tasks with attached memory)
- commit 933b787b57 (mm: copy over oom_adj value at fork time)

93fe4483e6 sound: make OSS device number claiming optional and schedule its removal
If any OSS support is enabled, regardless of built-in or module,
sound_core claims full OSS major number (that is, the old 0-255
region) to trap open attempts and request sound modules using custom
module aliases.  This feature is redundant as chrdev already has such
mechanism.  This preemptive claiming prevents alternative OSS
implementation.

The custom module aliases are scheduled to be removed and the previous
patch made soundcore emit the standard chrdev aliases too to help
transition.

This patch schedule the feature for removal in a year and makes it
optional so that developers and distros can try new things in the
meantime without rebuilding the kernel.  The pre-claiming can be
turned off by using SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and/or kernel parameter
soundcore.preclaim_oss.

As this allows sound minors to be individually grabbed by other users,
this patch updates sound_insert_unit() such that if registering
individual device region fails, it tries the next available slot.

For details on removal plan, please read the entry added by this patch
in feature-removal-schedule.txt .

1f6fc2de95 thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdrivers
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...

Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.

That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.

Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.

cab8bd3410 sysrq, kdump: make sysrq-c consistent
commit d6580a9f15 ("kexec: sysrq: simplify
sysrq-c handler") changed the behavior of sysrq-c to unconditional
dereference of NULL pointer.  So in cases with CONFIG_KEXEC, where
crash_kexec() was directly called from sysrq-c before, now it can be said
that a step of "real oops" was inserted before starting kdump.

However, in contrast to oops via SysRq-c from keyboard which results in
panic due to in_interrupt(), oops via "echo c > /proc/sysrq-trigger" will
not become panic unless panic_on_oops=1.  It means that even if dump is
properly configured to be taken on panic, the sysrq-c from proc interface
might not start crashdump while the sysrq-c from keyboard can start
crashdump.  This confuses traditional users of kdump, i.e.  people who
expect sysrq-c to do common behavior in both of the keyboard and proc
interface.

This patch brings the keyboard and proc interface behavior of sysrq-c in
line, by forcing panic_on_oops=1 before oops in sysrq-c handler.

And some updates in documentation are included, to clarify that there is
no longer dependency with CONFIG_KEXEC, and that now the system can just
crash by sysrq-c if no dump mechanism is configured.

3162534069 x86, intel_txt: Intel TXT boot support
This patch adds kernel configuration and boot support for Intel Trusted
Execution Technology (Intel TXT).

Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel Trusted Execution
Technology (Intel TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that
provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms.

Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT).

Intel TXT in Brief:
o  Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM)
o  Data protection in case of improper shutdown
o  Measurement and verification of launched environment

Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some
non-vPro systems.  It is currently available on desktop systems based on
the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell Optiplex 755, HP
dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, PM45, and GS45
Express chipsets.

For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/.
This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, which
has been updated for the new released platforms.

A much more complete description of how these patches support TXT, how to
configure a system for it, etc. is in the Documentation/intel_txt.txt file
in this patch.

This patch provides the TXT support routines for complete functionality,
documentation for TXT support and for the changes to the boot_params structure,
and boot detection of a TXT launch.  Attempts to shutdown (reboot, Sx) the system
will result in platform resets; subsequent patches will support these shutdown modes
properly.

37cf2b8d16 connector: get test code working by default
The connector test code currently does not work out of the box.  This is
because it uses a connector id that is above the registered limit.  So
rather than force people to stumble through undocumented code wondering
why it isn't working, have the test code use one of the "private" ids by
default.  While I'm in here, clean up the code (kernel and user app) so
that it's a bit more user friendly and verbose in significant things that
it does.  Terse test code wastes people time as they simply enumerate it
with all the same kind of debug messages to get a better feel of what code
is running at any time.

0741241c6b connector: make callback argument type explicit
The connector documentation states that the argument to the callback
function is always a pointer to a struct cn_msg, but rather than encode it
in the API itself, it uses a void pointer everywhere.  This doesn't make
much sense to encode the pointer in documentation as it prevents proper C
type checking from occurring and can easily allow people to use the wrong
pointer type.  So convert the argument type to an explicit struct cn_msg
pointer.

941297f443 netfilter: nf_conntrack: nf_conntrack_alloc() fixes
When a slab cache uses SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, we must be careful when allocating
objects, since slab allocator could give a freed object still used by lockless
readers.

In particular, nf_conntrack RCU lookups rely on ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next
being always valid (ie containing a valid 'nulls' value, or a valid pointer to next
object in hash chain.)

kmem_cache_zalloc() setups object with NULL values, but a NULL value is not valid
for ct->tuplehash[xxx].hnnode.next.

Fix is to call kmem_cache_alloc() and do the zeroing ourself.

As spotted by Patrick, we also need to make sure lookup keys are committed to
memory before setting refcount to 1, or a lockless reader could get a reference
on the old version of the object. Its key re-check could then pass the barrier.

fa5ec8a1f6 slub: add option to disable higher order debugging slabs
When debugging is enabled, slub requires that additional metadata be
stored in slabs for certain options: SLAB_RED_ZONE, SLAB_POISON, and
SLAB_STORE_USER.

Consequently, it may require that the minimum possible slab order needed
to allocate a single object be greater when using these options.  The
most notable example is for objects that are PAGE_SIZE bytes in size.

Higher minimum slab orders may cause page allocation failures when oom or
under heavy fragmentation.

This patch adds a new slub_debug option, which disables debugging by
default for caches that would have resulted in higher minimum orders:

	slub_debug=O

When this option is used on systems with 4K pages, kmalloc-4096, for
example, will not have debugging enabled by default even if
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON is defined because it would have resulted in a
order-1 minimum slab order.

b55f627fee spi: new spi->mode bits
Add two new spi_device.mode bits to accomodate more protocol options, and
pass them through to usermode drivers:

 * SPI_NO_CS ... a second 3-wire variant, where the chipselect
   line is removed instead of a data line; transfers are still
   full duplex.

   This obviously has STRONG protocol implications since the
   chipselect transitions can't be used to synchronize state
   transitions with the SPI master.

 * SPI_READY ... defines open drain signal that's pulled low
   to pause the clock.  This defines a 5-wire variant (normal
   4-wire SPI plus READY) and two 4-wire variants (READY plus
   each of the 3-wire flavors).

   Such hardware flow control can be a big win.  There are ADC
   converters and flash chips that expose READY signals, but not
   many host controllers support it today.

The spi_bitbang code should be changed to use SPI_NO_CS instead of its
current nonportable hack.  That's a mode most hardware can easily support
(unlike SPI_READY).

4698c1f2bb kmemleak: Do not trigger a scan when reading the debug/kmemleak file
Since there is a kernel thread for automatically scanning the memory, it
makes sense for the debug/kmemleak file to only show its findings. This
patch also adds support for "echo scan > debug/kmemleak" to trigger an
intermediate memory scan and eliminates the kmemleak_mutex (scan_mutex
covers all the cases now).

a9d9058aba kmemleak: Allow the early log buffer to be configurable.
(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky)

Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these
happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal
buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch
adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes
the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

This reverts commit 9e9f46c44e.

Quoting from the commit message:

 "At this point, it seems to solve more problems than it causes, so let's
  try using it by default.  It's an easy revert if it ends up causing
  trouble."

And guess what? The _CRS code causes trouble.

ed88bae691 leds: Add options to have GPIO LEDs start on or keep their state
There already is a "default-on" trigger but there are problems with it.

For one, it's a inefficient way to do it and requires led trigger support
to be compiled in.

But the real reason is that is produces a glitch on the LED.  The GPIO is
allocate with the LED *off*, then *later* when the trigger runs it is
turned back on.  If the LED was already on via the GPIO's reset default or
action of the firmware, this produces a glitch where the LED goes from on
to off to on.  While normally this is fast enough that it wouldn't be
noticeable to a human observer, there are still serious problems.

One is that there may be something else on the GPIO line, like a hardware
alarm or watchdog, that is fast enough to notice the glitch.

Another is that the kernel may panic before the LED is turned back on, thus
hanging with the LED in the wrong state.  This is not just speculation, but
actually happened to me with an embedded system that has an LED which
should turn off when the kernel finishes booting, which was left in the
incorrect state due to a bug in the OF LED binding code.

We also let GPIO LEDs get their initial value from whatever the current
state of the GPIO line is.  On some systems the LEDs are put into some
state by the firmware or hardware before Linux boots, and it is desired to
have them keep this state which is otherwise unknown to Linux.

This requires that the underlying GPIO driver support reading the value of
output GPIOs.  Some drivers support this and some do not.

The platform device binding gains a field in the platform data
"default_state" that controls this.  There are three constants defined to
select from on, off, or keeping the current state.  The OpenFirmware
binding uses a property named "default-state" that can be set to "on",
"off", or "keep".  The default if the property isn't present is off.

5054d39e32 leds: LED driver for National Semiconductor LP3944 Funlight Chip
LEDs driver for National Semiconductor LP3944 Funlight Chip
http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html

This helper chip can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable DIM
modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes
it is used as a led controller.

The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
specified supplying two parameters:
  - period: from 0s to 1.6s
  - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100

LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
leds, the camera flash light and the displays backlights.
