  • 7d69a1f4a   remove CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_UTS_NS and CONFIG_IPC_NS have very little value as they only
    deactivate the unshare of the uts and ipc namespaces and do not improve
    performance.

  • 651971cb7   [PATCH] Fix the size limit of compat space msgsize ... Browse Code »

    Currently we allocate 64k space on the user stack and use it the msgbuf for
    sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} for compat and the results are later copied in user [
    by copy_in_user]. This patch introduces helper routines for
    sys_{msgrcv,msgsnd} as below:

    do_msgsnd() : Accepts the mtype and user space ptr to the buffer along with
    the msqid and msgflg.

    do_msgrcv() : Accepts a kernel space ptr to mtype and a userspace ptr to
    the buffer. The mtype has to be copied back the user space msgbuf by the
    caller.

    These changes avoid the need to allocate the msgsize on the userspace (
    thus removing the size limt ) and the overhead of an extra copy_in_user().

  • 80491eb90   Revert unintentional "volatile" changes in ipc/msg.c ... Browse Code »

    Commit 5a06a363ef48444186f18095ae1b932dddbbfa89 ("[PATCH] ipc/msg.c:
    clean up coding style") breaks fakeroot on Alpha (variously hangs or
    oopses), according to a report by Falk Hueffner.

    The fact that the code seems to rely on compiler access ordering through
    the use of "volatile" is a pretty certain sign that the code has locking
    problems, and we should fix those properly and then remove the whole
    "volatile" entirely.

    But in the meantime, the movement of "volatile" was unintentional, and
    should be reverted.

  • c7e12b838   [PATCH] Fix ipc entries removal ... Browse Code »

    Fix two issuses related to ipc_ids->entries freeing.

    1. When freeing ipc namespace we need to free entries allocated
    with ipc_init_ids().

    2. When removing old entries in grow_ary() ipc_rcu_putref()
    may be called on entries set to &ids->nullentry earlier in
    ipc_init_ids().
    This is almost impossible without namespaces, but with
    them this situation becomes possible.

    Found during OpenVZ testing after obvious leaks in beancounters.

  • ac03221a4   [PATCH] update of IPC audit record cleanup ... Browse Code »

    The following patch addresses most of the issues with the IPC_SET_PERM
    records as described in:
    https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2006-May/msg00010.html
    and addresses the comments I received on the record field names.

    To summarize, I made the following changes:

    1. Changed sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() so that an IPC_SET_PERM
    record is emitted in the failure case as well as the success case.
    This matches the behavior in sys_shmctl(). I could simplify the
    code in sys_msgctl() and semctl_down() slightly but it would mean
    that in some error cases we could get an IPC_SET_PERM record
    without an IPC record and that seemed odd.

    2. No change to the IPC record type, given no feedback on the backward
    compatibility question.

    3. Removed the qbytes field from the IPC record. It wasn't being
    set and when audit_ipc_obj() is called from ipcperms(), the
    information isn't available. If we want the information in the IPC
    record, more extensive changes will be necessary. Since it only
    applies to message queues and it isn't really permission related, it
    doesn't seem worth it.

    4. Removed the obj field from the IPC_SET_PERM record. This means that
    the kern_ipc_perm argument is no longer needed.

    5. Removed the spaces and renamed the IPC_SET_PERM field names. Replaced iuid and
    igid fields with ouid and ogid in the IPC record.

    I tested this with the lspp.22 kernel on an x86_64 box. I believe it
    applies cleanly on the latest kernel.

  • 073115d6b   [PATCH] Rework of IPC auditing ... Browse Code »

    1) The audit_ipc_perms() function has been split into two different
    functions:
    - audit_ipc_obj()
    - audit_ipc_set_perm()

    There's a key shift here... The audit_ipc_obj() collects the uid, gid,
    mode, and SElinux context label of the current ipc object. This
    audit_ipc_obj() hook is now found in several places. Most notably, it
    is hooked in ipcperms(), which is called in various places around the
    ipc code permforming a MAC check. Additionally there are several places
    where *checkid() is used to validate that an operation is being
    performed on a valid object while not necessarily having a nearby
    ipcperms() call. In these locations, audit_ipc_obj() is called to
    ensure that the information is captured by the audit system.

    The audit_set_new_perm() function is called any time the permissions on
    the ipc object changes. In this case, the NEW permissions are recorded
    (and note that an audit_ipc_obj() call exists just a few lines before
    each instance).

    2) Support for an AUDIT_IPC_SET_PERM audit message type. This allows
    for separate auxiliary audit records for normal operations on an IPC
    object and permissions changes. Note that the same struct
    audit_aux_data_ipcctl is used and populated, however there are separate
    audit_log_format statements based on the type of the message. Finally,
    the AUDIT_IPC block of code in audit_free_aux() was extended to handle
    aux messages of this new type. No more mem leaks I hope ;-)

  • 8c8570fb8   [PATCH] Capture selinux subject/object context information. ... Browse Code »

    This patch extends existing audit records with subject/object context
    information. Audit records associated with filesystem inodes, ipc, and
    tasks now contain SELinux label information in the field "subj" if the
    item is performing the action, or in "obj" if the item is the receiver
    of an action.

    These labels are collected via hooks in SELinux and appended to the
    appropriate record in the audit code.

    This additional information is required for Common Criteria Labeled
    Security Protection Profile (LSPP).

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
