  • The overlap with the old SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] options is handled so
    that time stamping in software (net_enable_timestamp()) is
    enabled when SO_TIMESTAMP[NS] and/or SO_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE
    is set. It's disabled if all of these are off.

  • Introduce a new accept4() system call. The addition of this system call
    matches analogous changes in 2.6.27 (dup3(), evenfd2(), signalfd4(),
    inotify_init1(), epoll_create1(), pipe2()) which added new system calls
    that differed from analogous traditional system calls in adding a flags
    argument that can be used to access additional functionality.

    The accept4() system call is exactly the same as accept(), except that
    it adds a flags bit-mask argument. Two flags are initially implemented.
    (Most of the new system calls in 2.6.27 also had both of these flags.)

    SOCK_CLOEXEC causes the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag to be enabled
    for the new file descriptor returned by accept4(). This is a useful
    security feature to avoid leaking information in a multithreaded
    program where one thread is doing an accept() at the same time as
    another thread is doing a fork() plus exec(). More details here:
    http://udrepper.livejournal.com/20407.html "Secure File Descriptor Handling",
    Ulrich Drepper).

    The other flag is SOCK_NONBLOCK, which causes the O_NONBLOCK flag
    to be enabled on the new open file description created by accept4().
    (This flag is merely a convenience, saving the use of additional calls
    fcntl(F_GETFL) and fcntl (F_SETFL) to achieve the same result.

    Here's a test program. Works on x86-32. Should work on x86-64, but
    I (mtk) don't have a system to hand to test with.

    It tests accept4() with each of the four possible combinations of
    SOCK_CLOEXEC and SOCK_NONBLOCK set/clear in 'flags', and verifies
    that the appropriate flags are set on the file descriptor/open file
    description returned by accept4().

    I tested Ulrich's patch in this thread by applying against 2.6.28-rc2,
    and it passes according to my test program.

  • This patch is by far the most complex in the series. It adds a new syscall
    paccept. This syscall differs from accept in that it adds (at the userlevel)
    two additional parameters:

    - a signal mask
    - a flags value

    The flags parameter can be used to set flag like SOCK_CLOEXEC. This is
    imlpemented here as well. Some people argued that this is a property which
    should be inherited from the file desriptor for the server but this is against
    POSIX. Additionally, we really want the signal mask parameter as well
    (similar to pselect, ppoll, etc). So an interface change in inevitable.

    The flag value is the same as for socket and socketpair. I think diverging
    here will only create confusion. Similar to the filesystem interfaces where
    the use of the O_* constants differs, it is acceptable here.

    The signal mask is handled as for pselect etc. The mask is temporarily
    installed for the thread and removed before the call returns. I modeled the
    code after pselect. If there is a problem it's likely also in pselect.

    For architectures which use socketcall I maintained this interface instead of
    adding a system call. The symmetry shouldn't be broken.

    The following test must be adjusted for architectures other than x86 and
    x86-64 and in case the syscall numbers changed.

  • 1) added missing "__user" for kgsr and kgf pointers
    2) verify read for only GROUP_FILTER_SIZE(0). The group_filter
    structure definition (via RFC) includes space for one source
    in the source list array, but that source need not be present.
    So, sizeof(group_filter) > GROUP_FILTER_SIZE(0). Fixed
    the user read-check for minimum length to use the smaller size.
    3) remove unneeded "&" for gf_slist addresses

  • When used function put_cmsg() to copy kernel information to user
    application memory, if the memory length given by user application is
    not enough, by the bad length calculate of msg.msg_controllen,
    put_cmsg() function may cause the msg.msg_controllen to be a large
    value, such as 0xFFFFFFF0, so the following put_cmsg() can also write
    data to usr application memory even usr has no valid memory to store
    this. This may cause usr application memory overflow.

    int put_cmsg(struct msghdr * msg, int level, int type, int len, void *data)
    {
    struct cmsghdr __user *cm
    = (__force struct cmsghdr __user *)msg->msg_control;
    struct cmsghdr cmhdr;
    int cmlen = CMSG_LEN(len);
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    int err;

    if (MSG_CMSG_COMPAT & msg->msg_flags)
    return put_cmsg_compat(msg, level, type, len, data);

    if (cm==NULL || msg->msg_controllen < sizeof(*cm)) {
    msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC;
    return 0; /* XXX: return error? check spec. */
    }
    if (msg->msg_controllen < cmlen) {
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    msg->msg_flags |= MSG_CTRUNC;
    cmlen = msg->msg_controllen;
    }
    cmhdr.cmsg_level = level;
    cmhdr.cmsg_type = type;
    cmhdr.cmsg_len = cmlen;

    err = -EFAULT;
    if (copy_to_user(cm, &cmhdr, sizeof cmhdr))
    goto out;
    if (copy_to_user(CMSG_DATA(cm), data, cmlen - sizeof(struct cmsghdr)))
    goto out;
    cmlen = CMSG_SPACE(len);
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    If MSG_CTRUNC flags is set, msg->msg_controllen is less than
    CMSG_SPACE(len), "msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen" will cause unsinged int
    type msg->msg_controllen to be a large value.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    msg->msg_control += cmlen;
    msg->msg_controllen -= cmlen;
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    err = 0;
    out:
    return err;

    The same promble exists in put_cmsg_compat(). This patch can fix this

  • Part two in the O_CLOEXEC saga: adding support for file descriptors received
    through Unix domain sockets.

    The patch is once again pretty minimal, it introduces a new flag for recvmsg
    and passes it just like the existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag. I think this bit
    is not used otherwise but the networking people will know better.

    This new flag is not recognized by recvfrom and recv. These functions cannot
    be used for that purpose and the asymmetry this introduces is not worse than
    the already existing MSG_CMSG_COMPAT situations.

    The patch must be applied on the patch which introduced O_CLOEXEC. It has to
    remove static from the new get_unused_fd_flags function but since scm.c cannot
    live in a module the function still hasn't to be exported.

    Here's a test program to make sure the code works. It's so much longer than
    the actual patch...

  • Now that network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
    SOL_SOCKET sockopt SO_TIMESTAMPNS.

    This command is similar to SO_TIMESTAMP, but permits transmission of
    a 'timespec struct' instead of a 'timeval struct' control message.
    (nanosecond resolution instead of microsecond)

    Control message is labelled SCM_TIMESTAMPNS instead of SCM_TIMESTAMP

    A socket cannot mix SO_TIMESTAMP and SO_TIMESTAMPNS : the two modes are
    mutually exclusive.

    sock_recv_timestamp() became too big to be fully inlined so I added a
    __sock_recv_timestamp() helper function.

  • Now network timestamps use ktime_t infrastructure, we can add a new
    ioctl() SIOCGSTAMPNS command to get timestamps in 'struct timespec'.
    User programs can thus access to nanosecond resolution.

  • We currently use a special structure (struct skb_timeval) and plain
    'struct timeval' to store packet timestamps in sk_buffs and struct
    sock.

    This has some drawbacks :
    - Fixed resolution of micro second.
    - Waste of space on 64bit platforms where sizeof(struct timeval)=16

    I suggest using ktime_t that is a nice abstraction of high resolution
    time services, currently capable of nanosecond resolution.

    As sizeof(ktime_t) is 8 bytes, using ktime_t in 'struct sock' permits
    a 8 byte shrink of this structure on 64bit architectures. Some other
    structures also benefit from this size reduction (struct ipq in
    ipv4/ip_fragment.c, struct frag_queue in ipv6/reassembly.c, ...)

    Once this ktime infrastructure adopted, we can more easily provide
    nanosecond resolution on top of it. (ioctl SIOCGSTAMPNS and/or
    SO_TIMESTAMPNS/SCM_TIMESTAMPNS)

    Note : this patch includes a bug correction in
    compat_sock_get_timestamp() where a "err = 0;" was missing (so this
    syscall returned -ENOENT instead of 0)

  • After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
    recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
    There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
    anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
    macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
    course of cleaning it up.

    To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
    removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

    Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
    arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
    allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
    configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
    introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
    by unnecessarily included header files).

  • If more than one file descriptor was sent with an SCM_RIGHTS message,
    and on the receiving end, after installing a nonzero (but not all)
    file descritpors the process runs out of fds, then the already
    installed fds will be lost (userspace will have no way of knowing
    about them).

    The following patch makes sure, that at least the already installed
    fds are sent to userspace. It doesn't solve the issue of losing file
    descriptors in case of an EFAULT on the userspace buffer.
