BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1056078
Profile replacement can cause long chains of profiles to build up when
the profile being replaced is pinned. When the pinned profile is finally
freed, it puts the reference to its replacement, which may in turn nest
another call to free_profile on the stack. Because this may happen for
each profile in the replacedby chain this can result in a recusion that
causes the stack to overflow.Break this nesting by directly walking the chain of replacedby profiles
(ie. use iteration instead of recursion to free the list). This results
in at most 2 levels of free_profile being called, while freeing a
replacedby chain.Signed-off-by: John Johansen

replace_fd() began with "eats a reference, tries to insert into
descriptor table" semantics; at some point I'd switched it to
much saner current behaviour ("try to insert into descriptor
table, grabbing a new reference if inserted; caller should do
fput() in any case"), but forgot to update the callers.

Give the key type the opportunity to preparse the payload prior to the
instantiation and update routines being called. This is done with the
provision of two new key type operations:int (*preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
void (*free_preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);If the first operation is present, then it is called before key creation (in
the add/update case) or before the key semaphore is taken (in the update and
instantiate cases). The second operation is called to clean up if the first
was called.preparse() is given the opportunity to fill in the following structure:
struct key_preparsed_payload {
char *description;
void *type_data[2];
void *payload;
const void *data;
size_t datalen;
size_t quotalen;
};Before the preparser is called, the first three fields will have been cleared,
the payload pointer and size will be stored in data and datalen and the default
quota size from the key_type struct will be stored into quotalen.The preparser may parse the payload in any way it likes and may store data in
the type_data[] and payload fields for use by the instantiate() and update()
ops.The preparser may also propose a description for the key by attaching it as a
string to the description field. This can be used by passing a NULL or ""
description to the add_key() system call or the key_create_or_update()
function. This cannot work with request_key() as that required the description
to tell the upcall about the key to be created.This, for example permits keys that store PGP public keys to generate their own
name from the user ID and public key fingerprint in the key.The instantiate() and update() operations are then modified to look like this:
int (*instantiate)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);
int (*update)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep);and the new payload data is passed in *prep, whether or not it was preparsed.

This patch replaces the "whitelist" usage in the code and comments and replace

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied. Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:# cat devices.list
a *:* rwm
# echo a >devices.deny
# cat devices.list
# echo a >devices.allow
# cat devices.list
a *:* rwmThe interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
# ls -l /dev/null
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
# echo a >devices.allow
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
# cat /dev/null
cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
# cat /dev/null
# echo >/dev/null
bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow
# echo >/dev/null
# cat /dev/null
# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow

Pull vfs update from Al Viro:
- big one - consolidation of descriptor-related logics; almost all of
that is moved to fs/file.c(BTW, I'm seriously tempted to rename the result to fd.c. As it is,
we have a situation when file_table.c is about handling of struct
file and file.c is about handling of descriptor tables; the reasons
are historical - file_table.c used to be about a static array of
struct file we used to have way back).A lot of stray ends got cleaned up and converted to saner primitives,
disgusting mess in android/binder.c is still disgusting, but at least
doesn't poke so much in descriptor table guts anymore. A bunch of
relatively minor races got fixed in process, plus an ext4 struct file
leak.- related thing - fget_light() partially unuglified; see fdget() in
there (and yes, it generates the code as good as we used to have).- also related - bits of Cyrill's procfs stuff that got entangled into
that work; _not_ all of it, just the initial move to fs/proc/fd.c and
switch of fdinfo to seq_file.- Alex's fs/coredump.c spiltoff - the same story, had been easier to
take that commit than mess with conflicts. The rest is a separate
pile, this was just a mechanical code movement.- a few misc patches all over the place. Not all for this cycle,
there'll be more (and quite a few currently sit in akpm's tree)."Fix up trivial conflicts in the android binder driver, and some fairly

Pull user namespace changes from Eric Biederman:
"This is a mostly modest set of changes to enable basic user namespace
support. This allows the code to code to compile with user namespaces
enabled and removes the assumption there is only the initial user
namespace. Everything is converted except for the most complex of the
filesystems: autofs4, 9p, afs, ceph, cifs, coda, fuse, gfs2, ncpfs,
nfs, ocfs2 and xfs as those patches need a bit more review.The strategy is to push kuid_t and kgid_t values are far down into
subsystems and filesystems as reasonable. Leaving the make_kuid and
from_kuid operations to happen at the edge of userspace, as the values
come off the disk, and as the values come in from the network.
Letting compile type incompatible compile errors (present when user
namespaces are enabled) guide me to find the issues.The most tricky areas have been the places where we had an implicit
union of uid and gid values and were storing them in an unsigned int.
Those places were converted into explicit unions. I made certain to
handle those places with simple trivial patches.Out of that work I discovered we have generic interfaces for storing
quota by projid. I had never heard of the project identifiers before.
Adding full user namespace support for project identifiers accounts
for most of the code size growth in my git tree.Ultimately there will be work to relax privlige checks from
"capable(FOO)" to "ns_capable(user_ns, FOO)" where it is safe allowing
root in a user names to do those things that today we only forbid to
non-root users because it will confuse suid root applications.While I was pushing kuid_t and kgid_t changes deep into the audit code
I made a few other cleanups. I capitalized on the fact we process
netlink messages in the context of the message sender. I removed
usage of NETLINK_CRED, and started directly using current->tty.Some of these patches have also made it into maintainer trees, with no
problems from identical code from different trees showing up in
linux-next.After reading through all of this code I feel like I might be able to
win a game of kernel trivial pursuit."Fix up some fairly trivial conflicts in netfilter uid/git logging code.

Pull cgroup hierarchy update from Tejun Heo:
"Currently, different cgroup subsystems handle nested cgroups
completely differently. There's no consistency among subsystems and
the behaviors often are outright broken.People at least seem to agree that the broken hierarhcy behaviors need

that the fallouts from deprecating the broken behaviors should be
acceptable especially given that the current behaviors don't make much
sense when nested.This patch makes cgroup emit warning messages if cgroups for
subsystems with broken hierarchy behavior are nested to prepare for

more related changes were expected (didn't make it this round) and the

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
"This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1. A lot of activities this
round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.* delayed_work combines a timer and a work item. The handling of the
timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors. delayed_work is
updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
expected.* Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
timer+work usages. mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
and behave like timer which is executed with process context.* A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
half-broken under certain circumstances. This problem doesn't
exist for non-reentrant workqueues. While non-reentrancy check
isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
the overhead isn't too high.All workqueues are made non-reentrant. This removes the
distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
flush_[delayed_]_work_sync(). The former is now as strong as the
latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
execution of any previous queueing on return.* In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
hotplug handling significantly.* Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
hotplug.There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

"This is a complex task_work series from Oleg that fixes the bug that
