2014-12-22audit: correctly record file names with different path name typesPaul Moore
There is a problem with the audit system when multiple audit records are created for the same path, each with a different path name type. The root cause of the problem is in __audit_inode() when an exact match (both the path name and path name type) is not found for a path name record; the existing code creates a new path name record, but it never sets the path name in this record, leaving it NULL. This patch corrects this problem by assigning the path name to these newly created records. There are many ways to reproduce this problem, but one of the easiest is the following (assuming auditd is running): # mkdir /root/tmp/test # touch /root/tmp/test/567 # auditctl -a always,exit -F dir=/root/tmp/test # touch /root/tmp/test/567 Afterwards, or while the commands above are running, check the audit log and pay special attention to the PATH records. A faulty kernel will display something like the following for the file creation: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch" type=CWD msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): cwd="/root/tmp" type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=0 name="test/" inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=1 name=(null) inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL type=PATH msg=audit(1416957442.025:93): item=2 name=(null) inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL While a patched kernel will show the following: type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): arch=c000003e syscall=2 success=yes exit=3 ... comm="touch" exe="/usr/bin/touch" type=CWD msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): cwd="/root/tmp" type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=0 name="test/" inode=401409 ... nametype=PARENT type=PATH msg=audit(1416955786.566:89): item=1 name="test/567" inode=393804 ... nametype=NORMAL This issue was brought up by a number of people, but special credit should go to hujianyang@huawei.com for reporting the problem along with an explanation of the problem and a patch.

2014-12-19audit: use supplied gfp_mask from audit_buffer in kauditd_send_multicast_skbRichard Guy Briggs
Eric Paris explains: Since kauditd_send_multicast_skb() gets called in audit_log_end(), which can come from any context (aka even a sleeping context) GFP_KERNEL can't be used. Since the audit_buffer knows what context it should use, pass that down and use that.

2014-12-19audit: don't attempt to lookup PIDs when changing PID filtering audit rulesPaul Moore
Commit f1dc4867 ("audit: anchor all pid references in the initial pid namespace") introduced a find_vpid() call when adding/removing audit rules with PID/PPID filters; unfortunately this is problematic as find_vpid() only works if there is a task with the associated PID alive on the system. The following commands demonstrate a simple reproducer. # auditctl -D # auditctl -l # autrace /bin/true # auditctl -l This patch resolves the problem by simply using the PID provided by the user without any additional validation, e.g. no calls to check to see if the task/PID exists.

2014-11-17audit: convert status version to a feature bitmapRichard Guy Briggs
The version field defined in the audit status structure was found to have limitations in terms of its expressibility of features supported. This is distict from the get/set features call to be able to command those features that are present. Converting this field from a version number to a feature bitmap will allow distributions to selectively backport and support certain features and will allow upstream to be able to deprecate features in the future. It will allow userspace clients to first query the kernel for which features are actually present and supported. Currently, EINVAL is returned rather than EOPNOTSUP, which isn't helpful in determining if there was an error in the command, or if it simply isn't supported yet. Past features are not represented by this bitmap, but their use may be converted to EOPNOTSUP if needed in the future. Since "version" is too generic to convert with a #define, use a union in the struct status, introducing the member "feature_bitmap" unionized with "version". Convert existing AUDIT_VERSION_* macros over to AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP* counterparts, leaving the former for backwards compatibility.

2014-09-23audit: get comm using lock to avoid race in string printingRichard Guy Briggs
When task->comm is passed directly to audit_log_untrustedstring() without getting a copy or using the task_lock, there is a race that could happen that would output a NULL (\0) in the output string that would effectively truncate the rest of the report text after the comm= field in the audit, losing fields. Use get_task_comm() to get a copy while acquiring the task_lock to prevent this and to prevent the result from being a mixture of old and new values of comm.

2014-09-23audit: set nlmsg_len for multicast messages.Richard Guy Briggs
Report: Looking at your example code in http://people.redhat.com/rbriggs/audit-multicast-listen/audit-multicast-listen.c, it seems that nlmsg_len field in the received messages is supposed to contain the length of the header + payload, but it is always set to the size of the header only, i.e. 16. The example program works, because the printf format specifies the minimum width, not "precision", so it simply prints out the payload until the first zero byte. This isn't too much of a problem, but precludes the use of recvmmsg, iiuc? (gdb) p *(struct nlmsghdr*)nlh $14 = {nlmsg_len = 16, nlmsg_type = 1100, nlmsg_flags = 0, nlmsg_seq = 0, nlmsg_pid = 9910} The only time nlmsg_len would have been updated was at audit_buffer_alloc() inside audit_log_start() and never updated after. It should arguably be done in audit_log_vformat(), but would be more efficient in audit_log_end().

Some of these are correctness issues: - TLBs must be flushed after the old mappings are removed by the DMA mapping code, but before the new mappings are established. - An off-by-one entry error in the Keystone LPAE setup code. Fixes include: - ensuring that the identity mapping for LPAE does not remove the kernel image from the identity map. - preventing userspace from trapping into kgdb. - fixing a preemption issue in the Intel iwmmxt code. - fixing a build error with nommu. Other changes include: - Adding a note about which areas of memory are expected to be accessible while the identity mapping tables are in place" * 'fixes' of git://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/~rmk/linux-arm: ARM: 8124/1: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb break instruction ARM: idmap: add identity mapping usage note ARM: 8115/1: LPAE: reduce damage caused by idmap to virtual memory layout ARM: fix alignment of keystone page table fixup ARM: 8112/1: only select ARM_PATCH_PHYS_VIRT if MMU is enabled ARM: 8100/1: Fix preemption disable in iwmmxt_task_enable() ARM: DMA: ensure that old section mappings are flushed from the TLB
2014-08-02ARM: 8124/1: don't enter kgdb when userspace executes a kgdb break instructionOmar Sandoval
The kgdb breakpoint hooks (kgdb_brk_fn and kgdb_compiled_brk_fn) should only be entered when a kgdb break instruction is executed from the kernel. Otherwise, if kgdb is enabled, a userspace program can cause the kernel to drop into the debugger by executing either KGDB_BREAKINST or KGDB_COMPILED_BREAK.

2014-08-02ARM: idmap: add identity mapping usage noteRussell King
Add a note about the usage of the identity mapping; we do not support accesses outside of the identity map region and kernel image while a CPU is using the identity map. This is because the identity mapping may overwrite vmalloc space, IO mappings, the vectors pages, etc. Acked-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

2014-08-01dm cache: fix race affecting dirty block countAnssi Hannula
nr_dirty is updated without locking, causing it to drift so that it is non-zero (either a small positive integer, or a very large one when an underflow occurs) even when there are no actual dirty blocks. This was due to a race between the workqueue and map function accessing nr_dirty in parallel without proper protection. People were seeing under runs due to a race on increment/decrement of nr_dirty, see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/648 Fix this by using an atomic_t for nr_dirty.
