define convenient securebits masks for prctl users (v2)
Hi James, would you mind taking the following into
security-testing?
The securebits are used by passing them to prctl with the
PR_{S,G}ET_SECUREBITS commands. But the defines must be
shifted to be used in prctl, which begs to be confused and
misused by userspace. So define some more convenient
values for userspace to specify. This way userspace does
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, SECBIT_NOROOT);
instead of
prctl(PR_SET_SECUREBITS, 1 << SECURE_NOROOT);

selinux: drop remapping of netlink classes
Drop remapping of netlink classes and bypass of permission checking
based on netlink message type for policy version < 18. This removes
compatibility code introduced when the original single netlink
security class used for all netlink sockets was split into
finer-grained netlink classes based on netlink protocol and when
permission checking was added based on netlink message type in Linux
2.6.8. The only known distribution that shipped with SELinux and
policy < 18 was Fedora Core 2, which was EOL'd on 2005-04-11.
Given that the remapping code was never updated to address the
addition of newer netlink classes, that the corresponding userland
support was dropped in 2005, and that the assumptions made by the
remapping code about the fixed ordering among netlink classes in the
policy may be violated in the future due to the dynamic class/perm
discovery support, we should drop this compatibility code now.

selinux: dynamic class/perm discovery
Modify SELinux to dynamically discover class and permission values
upon policy load, based on the dynamic object class/perm discovery
logic from libselinux. A mapping is created between kernel-private
class and permission indices used outside the security server and the
policy values used within the security server.
The mappings are only applied upon kernel-internal computations;
similar mappings for the private indices of userspace object managers
is handled on a per-object manager basis by the userspace AVC. The
interfaces for compute_av and transition_sid are split for kernel
vs. userspace; the userspace functions are distinguished by a _user
suffix.
The kernel-private class indices are no longer tied to the policy
values and thus do not need to skip indices for userspace classes;
thus the kernel class index values are compressed. The flask.h
definitions were regenerated by deleting the userspace classes from
refpolicy's definitions and then regenerating the headers. Going
forward, we can just maintain the flask.h, av_permissions.h, and
classmap.h definitions separately from policy as they are no longer
tied to the policy values. The next patch introduces a utility to
automate generation of flask.h and av_permissions.h from the
classmap.h definitions.
The older kernel class and permission string tables are removed and
replaced by a single security class mapping table that is walked at
policy load to generate the mapping. The old kernel class validation
logic is completely replaced by the mapping logic.
The handle unknown logic is reworked. reject_unknown=1 is handled
when the mappings are computed at policy load time, similar to the old
handling by the class validation logic. allow_unknown=1 is handled
when computing and mapping decisions - if the permission was not able
to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then it is
automatically added to the allowed vector. If the class was not able
to be mapped (i.e. undefined, mapped to zero), then all permissions
are allowed for it if allow_unknown=1.
avc_audit leverages the new security class mapping table to lookup the
class and permission names from the kernel-private indices.
The mdp program is updated to use the new table when generating the
class definitions and allow rules for a minimal boot policy for the
kernel. It should be noted that this policy will not include any
userspace classes, nor will its policy index values for the kernel
classes correspond with the ones in refpolicy (they will instead match
the kernel-private indices).

tty: make the kref destructor occur asynchronously
Due to tty release routines run in a workqueue now, error like the
following will be reported while booting:
INIT open /dev/console Input/output error
It also causes hibernation regression to appear as reported at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14229
The reason is that now there's latency issue with closing, but when
we open a "closing not finished" tty, -EIO will be returned.
Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion:
Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as
the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case
it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and
could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO.
I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console
timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions.
tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty
onto the waitqueue for destruction
tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs.
We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context
fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0
... the end) to occur asynchronously
The USB update in -next would then need a call like
if (tty->cleanup)
tty->cleanup(tty);
at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split
between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final
tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep.
In other words the logic becomes
final kref put
make object unfindable
async
clean it up

This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID. If we build an
acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO". If we don't even have
that, give it a default "device" ID.
Note that this means things like:
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
(a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
they didn't before. These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
but I don't think they're harmful.

This makes \_SB_ show up as /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00
rather than "device:00". This has been broken for a loooong time
(at least since 2.6.13) because device->parent is an acpi_device
pointer, not a handle.

ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already exist
acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses
acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices. When the platform
notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace
again to figure out what appeared or disappeared. (We don't yet call
acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.)
This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have
an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

This patch adds acpi_bus_type_and_status(), which determines the type
of the object and whether we want to build an acpi_device for it. If
it is acpi_device-worthy, it returns the type and the device's current
status.

Add acpi_bus_get_status_handle() so we can get the status of a namespace
object before building a struct acpi_device.
This removes a use of "device->flags.dynamic_status", a cached indicator of
whether _STA exists. It seems simpler and more reliable to just evaluate
_STA and catch AE_NOT_FOUND errors.

ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devices
acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually. This patch changes
it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead.
Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the
namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace(). The locking isn't so
important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to
handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important.
Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node
first, so we need to do that by hand first.

ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPE
We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it
has no parent. This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM
and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root.
Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM. If we
traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use
acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

ACPI: enumerate namespace before adding functional fixed hardware devices
This patch changes the order so we enumerate in the "root, namespace,
functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace"
order. When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it
will use the former order, so this patch isolates the order change for
bisectability.

ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handle
This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an
acpi_device pointer. I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path,
and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already
have acpi_devices.
This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node. We
currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle
here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even
though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet.
Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of
its device argument. It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

We only pass the "type" to acpi_device_set_context() so we know whether

But it's safer to just check for the handle directly, since it's in the
acpi_device already.

Most uses of the ACPI bus device_type (ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE,
ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER, etc) are during device initialization, but
we do need it later for notify handler installation, since that
is different for fixed hardware devices vs. namespace devices.
This patch saves the device_type in the acpi_device structure,
so we can check that rather than comparing against the _HID string.

ACPI: remove redundant "handle" and "parent" arguments
In several cases, functions take handle and parent device pointers in
addition to acpi_device pointers. But the acpi_device structure contains
both the handle and the parent pointer, so it's pointless and error-prone
to pass them all. This patch removes the unnecessary "handle" and "parent"
arguments.

Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed info->hardware_id from a static array to
a pointer. If hardware_id is non-NULL, it points to a NULL-terminated
string, so we don't need to terminate it explicitly. However, it may
be NULL; in that case, we *can't* add a NULL terminator.
This causes a NULL pointer dereference oops for devices without _HID.

cifs: fix locking and list handling code in cifs_open and its helper
The patch to remove cifs_init_private introduced a locking imbalance. It
didn't remove the leftover list addition code and the unlocking in that
function. cifs_new_fileinfo does the list addition now, so there should
be no need to do it outside of that function.
pCifsInode will never be NULL, so we don't need to check for that. This

fs: Fix busyloop in wb_writeback()
writeback: don't delay inodes redirtied by a fast dirtier
Debug traces show that in per-bdi writeback, the inode under writeback
almost always get redirtied by a busy dirtier. We used to call
redirty_tail() in this case, which could delay inode for up to 30s.
This is unacceptable because it now happens so frequently for plain cp/dd,
that the accumulated delays could make writeback of big files very slow.
So let's distinguish between data redirty and metadata only redirty.
The first one is caused by a busy dirtier, while the latter one could
happen in XFS, NFS, etc. when they are doing delalloc or updating isize.
The inode being busy dirtied will now be requeued for next io, while
the inode being redirtied by fs will continue to be delayed to avoid
repeated IO.

Currently we pin the inode->i_sb for every single inode. This
increases cache traffic on sb->s_umount sem. Lets instead
cache the inode sb pin state and keep the super_block pinned

writeback: move inodes from one super_block together
__mark_inode_dirty adds inode to wb dirty list in random order. If a disk has
several partitions, writeback might keep spindle moving between partitions.
To reduce the move, better write big chunk of one partition and then move to
another. Inodes from one fs usually are in one partion, so idealy move indoes
from one fs together should reduce spindle move. This patch tries to address
this. Before per-bdi writeback is added, the behavior is write indoes
from one fs first and then another, so the patch restores previous behavior.
The loop in the patch is a bit ugly, should we add a dirty list for each
superblock in bdi_writeback?
Test in a two partition disk with attached fio script shows about 3% ~ 6%
improvement.
