The audit control messages are sent over netlink. Permission checks are done on the process receiving the message, which may not be the same as the process sending the message. This patch switches the netlink_send security hooks to calculate the effective capabilities based on the sender. Then audit_receive_msg performs capability checks based on that. It also introduces the CAP_AUDIT_WRITE and CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL capabilities, and replaces the previous CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks in audit code with the appropriate checks. - Simplified dummy_netlink_send given that dummy now keeps track of capabilities. - Many fixes based on feedback from <linux-audit@redhat.com> list. - Removed the netlink_msg_type helper function. - Switch to using CAP_AUDIT_WRITE and CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL.

This patch lets us use TIOCMIWAIT and TIOCGICOUNT from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit processor. TIOCMIWAIT uses the argument as a bitmap of things to wait for. The argument for TIOCGICOUNT points to a struct serial_icounter_struct, which only contains ints and arrays of int.

The recent oprofile changes for Motorola e500 broke oprofile for other CPUs. This patch fixes the build. Proper support for the G3/G4 PMCs would be interesting, and making sure the basic interrupt PC sampling still works on CPUs that don't have supported PMCs too...

This is a patch to generic_file_buffered_write() to correctly handle partial O_DIRECT writes (because of unallocated blocks) when there is more than 1 iovec. Without this patch, the code is writing the wrong iovec (it writes the first iovec a 2nd time). Included is a test program dio_bug.c that shows the problem by: writing 4k to offset 4k writing 4k to offset 12k writing 8k to offset 4k The result is that 8k write writes the 1st 4k of the buffer twice. $ rm f; ./dio_bug f wrong value offset 8k expected 0x33 got 0x11 wrong value offset 10k expected 0x44 got 0x22 with patch $ rm f; ./dio_bug f #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/uio.h> main(int argc, char **argv) { int fd; char *buf; int i; struct iovec v[2]; fd = open(argv[1], O_DIRECT|O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0666); if (fd < 0) { perror("open"); exit(1); } buf = valloc(8192); lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); memset(buf, 0x11, 2048); memset(buf+2048, 0x22, 2048); i = write(fd, buf, 4096); /* 4k write of 0x11 and 0x22 at 4k */ lseek(fd, 0x3000, SEEK_SET); memset(buf, 0x55, 2048); memset(buf+2048, 0x66, 2048); i = write(fd, buf, 4096); /* 4k write of 0x55 and 0x66 at 12k */ lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); i = read(fd, buf, 4096); memset(buf+4096, 0x33 , 2048); memset(buf+4096+2048, 0x44 , 2048); v[0].iov_base = buf; v[0].iov_len = 4096; v[1].iov_base = buf + 4096; v[1].iov_len = 4096; lseek(fd, 0x1000, SEEK_SET); i = writev(fd, v, 2); /* 8k write of 0x11, 0x22, 0x33, 0x44 at 4k */ lseek(fd, 0x2000, SEEK_SET); i = read(fd, buf, 4096); if (buf[0] != 0x33) printf("wrong value offset 8k expected 0x33 got 0x%x\n", buf[0]); if (buf[2048] != 0x44) printf("wrong value offset 10k expected 0x44 got 0x%x\n", buf[2048]); } Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This re-implements the nonintrusive spin-polling loop for the SMP+PREEMPT spinlock/rwlock variants, using the new *_can_lock() primitives. (The patch also adds *_can_lock() to the UP branch of spinlock.h, for completeness.) build- and boot-tested on x86 SMP+PREEMPT and SMP+!PREEMPT.

This renames the x86 implementation of the spinlock_t's 'lock' field to 'slock', to protect against spinlock_t/rwlock_t type mismatches. This way, if you use a spinlock where a rwlock is expected (or vice versa), you'll get an obvious compile failure. build- and boot-tested on x86 SMP+PREEMPT and SMP+!PREEMPT.

This introduces the following 3 new locking primitives: spin_can_lock(lock) read_can_lock(lock) write_can_lock(lock) which are a nonintrusive test to check whether the real (intrusive) trylock op would succeed or not. Semantics and naming is completely symmetric to the trylock counterpart. Architectures that want to support PREEMPT will need to add these definitions.

rwlocks can't be "locked". They can be "locked for read", or "locked for write", but not both. The confusion this caused is evident in the long discussion about this on linux-kernel ;)

They had their time and place, but right now they are using infrastructure that is getting re-done, and we're better off just dropping them.

My ALPS touchpad is not recognized because the device gets confused by the Kensington ThinkingMouse probe. It responds with "00 00 14" instead of the expected "00 00 64" to the "E6 report".

We could screw up and warn for opcodes that weren't write-safe and the user tried to use without having write permissions. Not so bad in itself, but that also destroyed the cmd type information. Noticed by Michal Schmidt

When drivers other than loopback were using the LLTX feature a race window was present. While sending queued packets, the packet scheduler layer drops the queue lock then calls directly into the drivers xmit handler. The driver then grabs it's private TX lock and goes to work. However, as soon as we've dropped the queue lock another thread doing TX processing for that card can execute a netif_stop_queue() due to the TX queue filling up. This race window causes problems because a properly coded driver should never end up in it's ->hard_start_xmit() handler if the queue on the device has been stopped and we even BUG() trap for this condition in all of the device drivers. That is how this race window was discovered by Roland and the Infiniband folks. Various suggestions were made to close this race. One of which involved holding onto the queue lock all the way into the ->hard_start_xmit() routine. Then having the driver drop that lock only after taking it's private TX lock. This solution was deemed grotty because it is not wise to put queueing discipline internals into the device drivers. The solution taken here, which is based upon ideas from Stephen Hemminger, is twofold: 1) Leave LLTX around for purely software devices that need no locking at all for TX processing. The existing example is loopback, although all tunnel devices could be converted in this way too. 2) Stop trying to use LLTX for the other devices. Instead achieve the same goal using a different mechanism. For #2, the thing we were trying to achieve with LLTX was to eliminate excess locking. We accomplish that now by letting the device driver use dev->xmit_lock directly instead of a seperate priv->tx_lock of some sort. In order to allow that, we had to turn dev->xmit_lock into a hardware IRQ disabling lock instead of a BH disabling one. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
