17 years agoV3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap
Andrew Morgan [Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:05:59 +0000 (03:05 -0700)] 
V3 file capabilities: alter behavior of cap_setpcap

The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
can change the capabilities of another process, p2.  This is not the
meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
another.

Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.

The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
process can set the capabilities of another process.

The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
rules:

   pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
   pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
   pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0

at exec() time.  As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
capability set.

The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
- to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
are applied.

Here is how it works:

Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where

   (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.

That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
be present in pP.

The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
the above:

   if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
      pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0  */
   }

This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.

One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

17 years agosysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.
Eric W. Biederman [Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:05:58 +0000 (03:05 -0700)] 
sysctl: deprecate sys_sysctl in a user space visible fashion.

After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set
of bugs.  Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost
patience with the binary sysctl interface.

The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and
finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then
finding a needle in a haystack.  Problems continue to crop up, with the in
kernel implementation.  So since supporting something that no one uses is
silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that
the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced.

The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be
supported indefinitely.

This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where
sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of
sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.

Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill
sys_sysctl.

After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become
clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent
problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel.  I certainly
can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced.

Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl
table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table.

The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but
since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to
change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally
adds a new binary sysctl value.

As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up
now are legitimate.

VFS: make notify_change pass ATTR_KILL_S*ID to setattr operations

When an unprivileged process attempts to modify a file that has the setuid or
setgid bits set, the VFS will attempt to clear these bits.  The VFS will set
the ATTR_KILL_SUID or ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid mask, and then call
notify_change to clear these bits and set the mode accordingly.

With a networked filesystem (NFS and CIFS in particular but likely others),
the client machine or process may not have credentials that allow for setting
the mode.  In some situations, this can lead to file corruption, an operation
failing outright because the setattr fails, or to races that lead to a mode
change being reverted.

In this situation, we'd like to just leave the handling of this to the server
and ignore these bits.  The problem is that by the time the setattr op is
called, the VFS has already reinterpreted the ATTR_KILL_* bits into a mode
change.  The setattr operation has no way to know its intent.

The following patch fixes this by making notify_change no longer clear the
ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID bits in the ia_valid before handing it off
to the setattr inode op.  setattr can then check for the presence of these
bits, and if they're set it can assume that the mode change was only for the
purposes of clearing these bits.

This means that we now have an implicit assumption that notify_change is never
called with ATTR_MODE and either ATTR_KILL_S*ID bit set.  Nothing currently
enforces that, so this patch also adds a BUG() if that occurs.

Akinobu Mita [Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:05:12 +0000 (03:05 -0700)] 
cpu hotplug: cpu: deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED only to NOTIFY_OKed callbacks with CPU_UP_PREPARE

The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event
before making the CPU online.  If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it
stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled.
Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier
chain again.

This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE.

The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that
the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned
NOTIFY_BAD, too.

Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that
has failed to initialize.  It is like:

err = register_something();
if (err) {
unregister_something();
return err;
}

So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that
have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function
that have returned NOTIFY_BAD.  This is what this patch is doing.

Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is
failed or not for each cpu.  (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with
topology_dev_map)

Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED
evnets.

* Hibernate with ACPI enabled

(ie.  with interrupts disabled).   Enabling ACPI after calling
device_power_up() turns out to be insufficient.

For this reason, introduce new hibernation callback ->leave() that will be
executed before device_power_up() by the restored image kernel.   To make it
work, it also is necessary to move swsusp_suspend() from swsusp.c to disk.c

17 years agoHibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64
Rafael J. Wysocki [Thu, 18 Oct 2007 10:04:53 +0000 (03:04 -0700)] 
Hibernation: Arbitrary boot kernel support on x86_64

Make it possible to restore a hibernation image on x86_64 with the help of a
kernel different from the one in the image.

The idea is to split the core restoration code into two separate parts and to
place each of them in a different page.   The first part belongs to the boot
kernel and is executed as the last step of the image kernel's memory
restoration procedure.   Before being executed, it is relocated to a safe page
that won't be overwritten while copying the image kernel pages.

The final operation performed by it is a jump to the second part of the core
restoration code that belongs to the image kernel and has just been restored.
This code makes the CPU switch to the image kernel's page tables and restores
the state of general purpose registers (including the stack pointer) from
before the hibernation.

The main issue with this idea is that in order to jump to the second part of
the core restoration code the boot kernel needs to know its address.
 However, this address may be passed to it in the image header.   Namely, the
part of the image header previously used for checking if the version of the
image kernel is correct can be replaced with some architecture specific data
that will allow the boot kernel to jump to the right address within the image
kernel.   These data should also be used for checking if the image kernel is
compatible with the boot kernel (as far as the memory restroration procedure
is concerned).  It can be done, for example, with the help of a "magic" value
that has to be equal in both kernels, so that they can be regarded as
compatible.

serial: turn serial console suspend a boot rather than compile time option

Currently, there's a CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND that allows one to stop
the serial console from being suspended when the rest of the machine goes
to sleep.  This is incredibly useful for debugging power management-related
things; however, having it as a compile-time option has proved to be
incredibly inconvenient for us (OLPC).  There are plenty of times that we
want serial console to not suspend, but for the most part we'd like serial
console to be suspended.

This drops CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND, and replaces it with a kernel
boot parameter (no_console_suspend).  By default, the serial console will
be suspended along with the rest of the system; by passing
'no_console_suspend' to the kernel during boot, serial console will remain
alive during suspend.

For now, this is pretty serial console specific; further fixes could be
applied to make this work for things like netconsole.
