2008-04-18ptrace_signal subroutineRoland McGrath
This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver into a new subroutine. The actual code there doesn't change, and it gets inlined into nearly identical compiled code. This makes the function substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and it nicely isolates the ptrace magic.

2008-04-18SELinux: Add network port SID cachePaul Moore
Much like we added a network node cache, this patch adds a network port cache. The design is taken almost completely from the network node cache which in turn was taken from the network interface cache. The basic idea is to cache entries in a hash table based on protocol/port information. The hash function only takes the port number into account since the number of different protocols in use at any one time is expected to be relatively small.

2008-04-18selinux: introduce permissive typesEric Paris
Introduce the concept of a permissive type. A new ebitmap is introduced to the policy database which indicates if a given type has the permissive bit set or not. This bit is tested for the scontext of any denial. The bit is meaningless on types which only appear as the target of a decision and never the source. A domain running with a permissive type will be allowed to perform any action similarly to when the system is globally set permissive.

2008-04-18SELinux: requesting no permissions in avc_has_perm_noaudit is a BUG()Eric Paris
This patch turns the case where we have a call into avc_has_perm with no requested permissions into a BUG_ON. All callers to this should be in the kernel and thus should be a function we need to fix if we ever hit this. The /selinux/access permission checking it done directly in the security server and not through the avc, so those requests which we cannot control from userspace should not be able to trigger this BUG_ON.

2008-04-18SELinux: create new open permissionEric Paris
Adds a new open permission inside SELinux when 'opening' a file. The idea is that opening a file and reading/writing to that file are not the same thing. Its different if a program had its stdout redirected to /tmp/output than if the program tried to directly open /tmp/output. This should allow policy writers to more liberally give read/write permissions across the policy while still blocking many design and programing flaws SELinux is so good at catching today.

The RCU/spinlock locking approach for the nlbl_state in the sk_security_struct was almost certainly overkill.

2008-04-17kgdb: fix SMP NMI kgdb_handle_exception exit raceJason Wessel
Fix the problem of protecting the kgdb handle_exception exit which had an NMI race condition, while trying to restore normal system operation. There was a small window after the master processor sets cpu_in_debug to zero but before it has set kgdb_active to zero where a non-master processor in an SMP system could receive an NMI and re-enter the kgdb_wait() loop. As long as the master processor sets the cpu_in_debug before sending the cpu roundup the cpu_in_debug variable can also be used to guard against the race condition. The kgdb_wait() function no longer needs to check kgdb_active because it is done in the arch specific code and handled along with the nmi traps at the low level. This also allows kgdb_wait() to exit correctly if it was entered for some unknown reason due to a spurious NMI that could not be handled by the arch specific code.

2008-04-17kgdb: add kgdb internal test suiteJason Wessel
This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch specific implementation. The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb primitives which should not be exported externally. The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb. The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb sending a response. The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts= line: When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core test types: A = Run all the core tests silently V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode You can also specify optional tests: N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds to test the HW NMI watchdog F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive. To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start argument as follows: kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork test for 100 forks, you could use: kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait The test suite can also be invoked at run time with: echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts Or as another example: echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or using these tests for the purpose of regression testing, several invocations are required. 1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait" ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use "kgdbts=V1N6F100 2) After the system boot run the basic test. echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts 3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1 while loops where n is the number of cpus you have in your system. The example below uses only two loops. ## This tests break points on sys_open while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c fg # and hit control-c ## This tests break points on do_fork while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-17kgdb: add x86 HW breakpointsJason Wessel
Add HW breakpoints into the arch specific portion of x86 kgdb. In the current x86 kernel.org kernels HW breakpoints are changed out in lazy fashion because there is no infrastructure around changing them when changing to a kernel task or entering the kernel mode via a system call. This lazy approach means that if a user process uses HW breakpoints the kgdb will loose out. This is an acceptable trade off because the developer debugging the kernel is assumed to know what is going on system wide and would be aware of this trade off. There is a minor bug fix to the kgdb core so as to correctly call the hw breakpoint functions with a valid value from the enum. There is also a minor change to the x86_64 startup code when using early HW breakpoints. When the debugger is connected, the cpu startup code must not zero out the HW breakpoint registers or you cannot hit the breakpoints you are interested in, in the first place.

Adjust the NMI logic such that KGDB will not stop NMI exceptions from occurring by in general returning NOTIFY_DONE. It is not possible to distinguish the debug NMI sync vs the normal NMI apic interrupt so kgdb needs to catch the unknown NMI if it the debugger was previously active on one of the cpus.

2008-04-17x86: move suspend wakeup code to CPavel Machek
Move wakeup code to .c, so that video mode setting code can be shared between boot and wakeup. Remove nasty assembly code in 64-bit case by re-using trampoline code. Stack setup was fixed to clear high 16bits of %esp, maybe that fixes some machines. .c code sharing and morse code was done H. Peter Anvin, Sam Ravnborg reviewed kbuild related stuff, and it seems okay to him. Rafael did some cleanups.

2008-04-17x86: setup_trampoline() - fix section mismatch warningJacek Luczak
this patch fixes section mismatch warnings (on x86_64 host) in setup_trampoline(), which was referencing __initdata variables trampoline_data and trampoline_end. Warning messages: WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.cpuinit.text+0x2b6a): Section mismatch in reference from the function setup_trampoline() to the variable .init.data:trampoline_data The function __cpuinit setup_trampoline() references a variable __initdata trampoline_data. If trampoline_data is only used by setup_trampoline then annotate trampoline_data with a matching annotation.

This patch fixes mismatch warnings in smp_checks() (in arch/x86/kernel/smpboot.c): WARNING: arch/x86/kernel/built-in.o(.text+0x11922): Section mismatch in reference from the function smp_checks() to the variable .cpuinit.data:smp_b_stepping The function smp_checks() references the variable __cpuinitdata smp_b_stepping. This is often because smp_checks lacks a __cpuinitdata annotation or the annotation of smp_b_stepping is wrong.

The shutdown status flag set to "0xA", corresponds to "JMP double word request without INT init". This JMP at reboot time is at an unintended location. And results in Triple faults in our case. Though this error at reboot can be safely ignored in a VM environment, am not sure what the effect would be on a physical system. May be it will result in a triple fault and an eventual hardware reset thus masking this BUG in the kernel. This fix just makes sure that we reset that status flag after initialization is done. Fix paranoia about using BIOS quickboot mechanism. Make sure that we clear the "shutdown status flag" in the CMOS register after each CPU is brought up. This fixes a problem where the "shutdown status flag" may remain set when a CPU is brought up after booting.
