  • 9984de1a5   kernel: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h ... Browse Code »

    The changed files were only including linux/module.h for the
    EXPORT_SYMBOL infrastructure, and nothing else. Revector them
    onto the isolated export header for faster compile times.

    Nothing to see here but a whole lot of instances of:

    -#include
    +#include

    This commit is only changing the kernel dir; next targets
    will probably be mm, fs, the arch dirs, etc.

  • f56298835   audit: acquire creds selectively to reduce atomic op overhead ... Browse Code »

    Commit c69e8d9c01db ("CRED: Use RCU to access another task's creds and to
    release a task's own creds") added calls to get_task_cred and put_cred in
    audit_filter_rules. Profiling with a large number of audit rules active
    on the exit chain shows that we are spending upto 48% in this routine for
    syscall intensive tests, most of which is in the atomic ops.

    1. The code should be accessing tsk->cred rather than tsk->real_cred.
    2. Since tsk is current (or tsk is being created by copy_process) access to
    tsk->cred without rcu read lock is possible. At the request of the audit
    maintainer, a new flag has been added to audit_filter_rules in order to make
    this explicit and guide future code.

  • 120a795da   audit mmap ... Browse Code »

    Normal syscall audit doesn't catch 5th argument of syscall. It also
    doesn't catch the contents of userland structures pointed to be
    syscall argument, so for both old and new mmap(2) ABI it doesn't
    record the descriptor we are mapping. For old one it also misses
    flags.

  • 449cedf09   audit: preface audit printk with audit ... Browse Code »

    There have been a number of reports of people seeing the message:
    "name_count maxed, losing inode data: dev=00:05, inode=3185"
    in dmesg. These usually lead to people reporting problems to the filesystem
    group who are in turn clueless what they mean.

    Eventually someone finds me and I explain what is going on and that
    these come from the audit system. The basics of the problem is that the
    audit subsystem never expects a single syscall to 'interact' (for some
    wish washy meaning of interact) with more than 20 inodes. But in fact
    some operations like loading kernel modules can cause changes to lots of
    inodes in debugfs.

    There are a couple real fixes being bandied about including removing the
    fixed compile time limit of 20 or not auditing changes in debugfs (or
    both) but neither are small and obvious so I am not sending them for
    immediate inclusion (I hope Al forwards a real solution next devel
    window).

    In the meantime this patch simply adds 'audit' to the beginning of the
    crap message so if a user sees it, they come blame me first and we can
    talk about what it means and make sure we understand all of the reasons
    it can happen and make sure this gets solved correctly in the long run.

  • 5a0e3ad6a   include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implic… ... Browse Code »

    …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • 9d9609851   Audit: clean up all op= output to include string quoting ... Browse Code »

    A number of places in the audit system we send an op= followed by a string
    that includes spaces. Somehow this works but it's just wrong. This patch
    moves all of those that I could find to be quoted.

    Example:

    Change From: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1244666690.117:31): auid=0 ses=1
    subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op=remove rule
    key="number2" list=4 res=0

    Change To: type=CONFIG_CHANGE msg=audit(1244666690.117:31): auid=0 ses=1
    subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:auditctl_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 op="remove rule"
    key="number2" list=4 res=0

    The audit execve record splitting code estimates the length of the message
    generated. But it forgot to include the "" that wrap each string in its
    estimation. This means that execve messages with lots of tiny (1-2 byte)
    arguments could still cause records greater than 8k to be emitted. Simply
    fix the estimate.

  • ca96a895a   audit: EXECVE record - removed bogus newline ... Browse Code »

    (updated)
    Added hunk that changes the comment, the rest is the same.

    EXECVE records contain a newline after every argument. auditd converts
    "\n" to " " so you cannot see newlines even in raw logs, but they're
    there nevertheless. If you're not using auditd, you need to work round
    them. These '\n' chars are can be easily replaced by spaces when
    creating record in kernel. Note there is no need for trailing '\n' in
    an audit record.

    record before this patch:
    "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\"\na1=\"a\"\na2=\"b\"\na3=\"c\"\n"

    record after this patch:
    "type=EXECVE msg=audit(1231421801.566:31): argc=4 a0=\"./test\" a1=\"a\" a2=\"b\" a3=\"c\""
