marked __init, which is actively wrong, and will lead to oops. But we

biosdevname is a userspace app I wrote to help solve this so we don't need
to patch the kernel for future systems. It's not integrated into any
distributions properly yet, but is included in openSUSE 10.3 and Fedora 8
for people who want to download and install it there. It acts as a udev
helper.
For the time being, patching the kernel is necessary. I really hope
biosdevname eliminates that need in future distributions.

This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on

Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level
page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to
section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's

x86: fix CONFIG_PAGEALLOC related boot hangs/OOMs
if CONFIG_PAGEALLOC is enabled then X86_FEATURE_PSE is disabled and all
the kernel physical RAM pagetables are set up as 4K pages. This is
needed so that CONFIG_PAGEALLOC can do finegrained mapping and unmapping
of pages.
as a side-effect though, the total size of memory allocated as kernel
pagetables increases significantly. All these pagetables are allocated
via alloc_bootmem_low_pages(), straight out of the lowmem DMA pool. If
the system has enough RAM and a large kernel image then almost all of
the 16 MB lowmem DMA pool is allocated to the image and to pagetables -
leaving no space for __GFP_DMA allocations.
this results in drivers failing and the bootup hanging:

the fix is to first allocate from above the DMA pool, and if that fails
(for example due to it being a machine with less than 16 MB of RAM),
allocate from the DMA pool as a fallback.

Implement file posix capabilities
Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a
subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Changelog:
Nov 27:
Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
Fix Kconfig dependency.
Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
Nov 13:
Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
Nov 13:
Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
Dobriyan.
Nov 09:
Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.
Nov 08:
For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Nov 07:
Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
check_cap_sanity().
Nov 07:
Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.
Nov 05:
Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
cap support can be stacked.
Sep 05:
As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
for capability code.
Sep 01:
Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
d_instantiate.
Aug 10:
Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
caching it at d_instantiate.

security: Convert LSM into a static interface
Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
overall security architecture.
Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
abuse.
Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
at boot.
The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.
In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

kernel-doc: fix doc blocks and html
Johannes Berg reports (Thanks!) that &struct names are not highlighted in
html output format when they are inside a DOC: block.
DOC: blocks were not escaped thru xml_escape() like other kernel-doc
comments were. Fixed that.
However, that left a problem with <p> ($blankline_html) being processed
thru xml_escape(), converting it to <p>, which isn't good for the
generated html output (the <p> should remain unchanged), so this patch also
introduces the notion of "local" kernel-doc meta-characters
('\\\\mnemonic:'), which are converted to html just before writing the

r/o bind mounts: rearrange may_open() to be r/o friendly
may_open() calls vfs_permission() before it does checks for IS_RDONLY(inode).
It checks _again_ inside of vfs_permission().
The check inside of vfs_permission() is going away eventually. With the
mnt_want/drop_write() functions, all of the r/o checks (except for this one)
are consistently done before calling permission(). Because of this, I'd like
to use permission() to hold a debugging check to make sure that the
mnt_want/drop_write() calls are actually being made.
So, to do this:
1. remove the IS_RDONLY() check from permission()
2. enforce that you must mnt_want_write() before
even calling permission()
3. actually add the debugging check to permission()
We need to rearrange may_open() to do r/o checks before calling permission().

r/o bind mounts: filesystem helpers for custom 'struct file's
Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.
This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.
It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.
This patch:
Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.
This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.
Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

So work around this by storing the permission bits separately and returning

hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special
and need to be fast (they don't).

floppy: remove dead/commented out code from floppy driver
A good initial step for a cleanup seems to me to be getting rid of old dead
code. This stuff is either commented out or inside '#if 0' so it is not
currently in use at all, let's just get rid of it once and for all. That's a
few lines less to deal with.

floppy: do a very minimal style cleanup of the floppy driver
Yes, some of this will likely be replaced in later patches, but I do not see
anyone else coming out of the woodwork with any patches for this driver, so
I'll ignore comments about churn. I want to get this driver cleaned up, and
if I'm going to do so I want to start with this basic style cleanup to reduce
the reading pain a bit.

migration_call(CPU_DEAD): use spin_lock_irq() instead of task_rq_lock()
Change migration_call(CPU_DEAD) to use direct spin_lock_irq() instead of
task_rq_lock(rq->idle), rq->idle can't change its task_rq().
This makes the code a bit more symmetrical with migrate_dead_tasks()'s path
which uses spin_lock_irq/spin_unlock_irq.

do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(tasklist)
Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under
write_lock_irq(tasklist). This means it can't use task_lock() which is
needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account.
Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and
change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist).
This all is a preparation for the futher changes proposed by Cliff Wickman, see

md: make sure read errors are auto-corrected during a 'check' resync in raid1
Whenever a read error is found, we should attempt to overwrite with correct
data to 'fix' it.
However when do a 'check' pass (which compares data blocks that are
successfully read, but doesn't normally overwrite) we don't do that. We
should.
