2011-04-04ntp: fix non privileged system time shiftingRichard Cochran
The ADJ_SETOFFSET bit added in commit 094aa188 ("ntp: Add ADJ_SETOFFSET mode bit") also introduced a way for any user to change the system time. Sneaky or buggy calls to adjtimex() could set ADJ_OFFSET_SS_READ | ADJ_SETOFFSET which would result in a successful call to timekeeping_inject_offset(). This patch fixes the issue by adding the capability check. Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@omicron.at> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2011-04-01kdump: Allow shrinking of kdump region to be overriddenAnton Blanchard
On ppc64 the crashkernel region almost always overlaps an area of firmware. This works fine except when using the sysfs interface to reduce the kdump region. If we free the firmware area we are guaranteed to crash. Rename free_reserved_phys_range to crash_free_reserved_phys_range and make it a weak function so we can override it.

2011-03-31sched: Fix rebalance interval calculationSisir Koppaka
The interval for checking scheduling domains if they are due to be balanced currently depends on boot state NR_CPUS, which may not accurately reflect the number of online CPUs at the time of check.

2011-03-31sched: Leave sched_setscheduler() earlier if possible, do not disturb ↵Dario Faggioli
SCHED_FIFO tasks sched_setscheduler() (in sched.c) is called in order of changing the scheduling policy and/or the real-time priority of a task. Thus, if we find out that neither of those are actually being modified, it is possible to return earlier and save the overhead of a full deactivate+activate cycle of the task in question. Beside that, if we have more than one SCHED_FIFO task with the same priority on the same rq (which means they share the same priority queue) having one of them changing its position in the priority queue because of a sched_setscheduler (as it happens by means of the deactivate+activate) that does not actually change the priority violates POSIX which states, for SCHED_FIFO: "If a thread whose policy or priority has been modified by pthread_setschedprio() is a running thread or is runnable, the effect on its position in the thread list depends on the direction of the modification, as follows: a. <...> b. If the priority is unchanged, the thread does not change position in the thread list. c. <...>" http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/xsh_chap02_08.html (ed: And the POSIX specification here does, briefly and somewhat unexpectedly, match what common sense tells us as well. ) Signed-off-by: Dario Faggioli <raistlin@linux.it> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <1300971618.3960.82.camel@Palantir> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2011-03-28Relax si_code check in rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfoRoland Dreier
Commit da48524eb206 ("Prevent rt_sigqueueinfo and rt_tgsigqueueinfo from spoofing the signal code") made the check on si_code too strict. There are several legitimate places where glibc wants to queue a negative si_code different from SI_QUEUE: - This was first noticed with glibc's aio implementation, which wants to queue a signal with si_code SI_ASYNCIO; the current kernel causes glibc's tst-aio4 test to fail because rt_sigqueueinfo() fails with EPERM. - Further examination of the glibc source shows that getaddrinfo_a() wants to use SI_ASYNCNL (which the kernel does not even define). The timer_create() fallback code wants to queue signals with SI_TIMER. As suggested by Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>, loosen the check to forbid only the problematic SI_TKILL case.

2011-03-24vsprintf: Introduce %pB format specifierNamhyung Kim
The %pB format specifier is for stack backtrace. Its handler sprint_backtrace() does symbol lookup using (address-1) to ensure the address will not point outside of the function. If there is a tail-call to the function marked "noreturn", gcc optimized out the code after the call then causes saved return address points outside of the function (i.e. the start of the next function), so pollutes call trace somewhat. This patch adds the %pB printk mechanism that allows architecture call-trace printout functions to improve backtrace printouts.

2011-03-23crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, ↵Olaf Hering
setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0 backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in connected state. To run the connection reset function only in case of a crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV driver modules. Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel() usable for modules. Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().

2011-03-23taskstats: use appropriate printk priority levelMandeep Singh Baines
printk()s without a priority level default to KERN_WARNING. To reduce noise at KERN_WARNING, this patch set the priority level appriopriately for unleveled printks()s. This should be useful to folks that look at dmesg warnings closely.

2011-03-23userns: user namespaces: convert several capable() callsSerge E. Hallyn
CAP_IPC_OWNER and CAP_IPC_LOCK can be checked against current_user_ns(), because the resource comes from current's own ipc namespace. setuid/setgid are to uids in own namespace, so again checks can be against current_user_ns(). Changelog: Jan 11: Use task_ns_capable() in place of sched_capable(). Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank. Jan 11: Clarify (hopefully) some logic in futex and sched.c Feb 15: use ns_capable for ipc, not nsown_capable Feb 23: let copy_ipcs handle setting ipc_ns->user_ns Feb 23: pass ns down rather than taking it from current [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

2011-03-23userns: user namespaces: convert all capable checks in kernel/sys.cSerge E. Hallyn
This allows setuid/setgid in containers. It also fixes some corner cases where kernel logic foregoes capability checks when uids are equivalent. The latter will need to be done throughout the whole kernel. Changelog: Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank. Jan 11: Fix logic errors in uid checks pointed out by Bastian. Feb 15: allow prlimit to current (was regression in previous version) Feb 23: remove debugging printks, uninline set_one_prio_perm and make it bool, and document its return value.

So we can let type safety keep things sane, and as a bonus we can remove the declaration of init_user_ns in capability.h. Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@canonical.com> Cc: "Eric W.
