git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/linux-security
Pull more security layer updates from Serge Hallyn:
"A few more commits had previously failed to make it through
security-next into linux-next but this week made it into linux-next.
At least commit "ima: introduce ima_kernel_read()" was deemed critical
by Mimi to make this merge window.
This is a temporary tree just for this request. Mimi has pointed me
to some previous threads about keeping maintainer trees at the
previous release, which I'll certainly do for anything long-term,
after talking with James"
* 'serge-next-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sergeh/linux-security:
ima: introduce ima_kernel_read()
evm: prohibit userspace writing 'security.evm' HMAC value
ima: check inode integrity cache in violation check
ima: prevent unnecessary policy checking
evm: provide option to protect additional SMACK xattrs

Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil:
"This has a mix of bug fixes and cleanups.
Alex's patch fixes a rare race in RBD. Ilya's patches fix an ENOENT
check when a second rbd image is mapped and a couple memory leaks.

MDSs. Josh fixes a spin/sleep issue, and Josh and Guangliang's
patches fix setting and unsetting RBD images read-only.
Naturally there are several other cleanups mixed in for good measure"

The reason for the oops is that IMA-appraisal uses "kernel_read()" when
file is closed. kernel_read() honors LSM security hook which calls
Apparmor handler, which uses current->nsproxy->mnt_ns. The 'guilty'
commit changed the order of cleanup code so that nsproxy->mnt_ns was
not already available for Apparmor.
Discussion about the issue with Al Viro and Eric W. Biederman suggested
that kernel_read() is too high-level for IMA. Another issue, except
security checking, that was identified is mandatory locking. kernel_read
honors it as well and it might prevent IMA from calculating necessary hash.
It was suggested to use simplified version of the function without security
and locking checks.
This patch introduces special version ima_kernel_read(), which skips security
and mandatory locking checking. It prevents the kernel oops to happen.

Calculating the 'security.evm' HMAC value requires access to the
EVM encrypted key. Only the kernel should have access to it. This
patch prevents userspace tools(eg. setfattr, cp --preserve=xattr)
from setting/modifying the 'security.evm' HMAC value directly.

When IMA did not support ima-appraisal, existance of the S_IMA flag
clearly indicated that the file was measured. With IMA appraisal S_IMA
flag indicates that file was measured and/or appraised. Because of
this, when measurement is not enabled by the policy, violations are
still reported.
To differentiate between measurement and appraisal policies this
patch checks the inode integrity cache flags. The IMA_MEASURED
flag indicates whether the file was actually measured, while the
IMA_MEASURE flag indicates whether the file should be measured.
Unfortunately, the IMA_MEASURED flag is reset to indicate the file
needs to be re-measured. Thus, this patch checks the IMA_MEASURE
flag.
This patch limits the false positive violation reports, but does
not fix it entirely. The IMA_MEASURE/IMA_MEASURED flags are
indications that, at some point in time, the file opened for read
was in policy, but might not be in policy now (eg. different uid).
Other changes would be needed to further limit false positive
violation reports.

ima_rdwr_violation_check is called for every file openning.
The function checks the policy even when violation condition
is not met. It causes unnecessary policy checking.
This patch does policy checking only if violation condition is met.

Newer versions of SMACK introduced following security xattrs:
SMACK64EXEC, SMACK64TRANSMUTE and SMACK64MMAP.
To protect these xattrs, this patch includes them in the HMAC
calculation. However, for backwards compatibility with existing
labeled filesystems, including these xattrs needs to be
configurable.
Changelog:
- Add SMACK dependency on new option (Mimi)

Using HMAC version limits the posibility to arbitrarily add new
attributes such as SMACK64EXEC to the hmac calculation.
This patch replaces hmac version with attribute mask.
Desired attributes can be enabled with configuration parameter.
It allows to build kernels which works with previously labeled
filesystems.
Currently supported attribute is 'fsuuid' which is equivalent of
the former version 2.

Since I said we would do that in the previous PM+ACPI pull request,

bus below the host bridge to be checked for changes as they should
because of a mistake in the ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP)
subsystem that forgets to add hotplug contexts to PCI host bridge
ACPI device objects. Create hotplug contexts for PCI host bridges
too as appropriate.
- Revert recent cpufreq commit related to the big.LITTLE cpufreq
driver that breaks arm64 builds.
- Fix for a regression in the ppc-corenet cpufreq driver introduced
during the 3.15 cycle and causing the driver to use the remainder
from do_div instead of the quotient. From Ed Swarthout.
- Resets triggered by panic activate a BUG_ON() in vmalloc.c on
systems where the ACPI reset register is located in memory address
space. Fix from Randy Wright.
- Fix for a problem with cpufreq governors that decisions made by
them may be suboptimal due to the fact that deferrable timers are
used by them for CPU load sampling. From Srivatsa S Bhat.
- Fix for a problem with the Tegra cpufreq driver where the CPU
frequency is temporarily switched to a "stable" level that is
different from both the initial and target frequencies during
transitions which causes udelay() to expire earlier than it should
sometimes. From Viresh Kumar.

This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference regression bug that was
introduced with:
commit 1e1110c43b1cda9fe77fc4a04835e460550e6b3c
Author: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Date: Sat May 17 06:49:22 2014 -0400
target: fix memory leak on XCOPY
Now that target_put_sess_cmd() -> kref_put_spinlock_irqsave() is
called with a valid se_cmd->cmd_kref, a NULL pointer dereference
is triggered because the XCOPY passthrough commands don't have
an associated se_session pointer.
To address this bug, go ahead and checking for a NULL se_sess pointer
within target_put_sess_cmd(), and call se_cmd->se_tfo->release_cmd()
to release the XCOPY's xcopy_pt_cmd memory.

When running RHEL6 userspace on a current upstream kernel, "ip link"
fails to show VF information.
The reason is a kernel<->userspace API change introduced by commit
88c5b5ce5cb57 ("rtnetlink: Call nlmsg_parse() with correct header length"),
after which the kernel does not see iproute2's IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute
in the netlink request.
iproute2 adjusted for the API change in its commit 63338dca4513
("libnetlink: Use ifinfomsg instead of rtgenmsg in rtnl_wilddump_req_filter").
The problem has been noticed before:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=136692296022182&w=2
(Subject: Re: getting VF link info seems to be broken in 3.9-rc8)
We can do better than tell those with old userspace to upgrade. We can
recognize the old iproute2 in the kernel by checking the netlink message
length. Even when including the IFLA_EXT_MASK attribute, its netlink
message is shorter than struct ifinfomsg.
With this patch "ip link" shows VF information in both old and new
iproute2 versions.

====================
net: fec: Enable Software TSO to improve the tx performance
Add SG and software TSO support for FEC.
This feature allows to improve outbound throughput performance.
Tested on imx6dl sabresd board, running iperf tcp tests shows:

[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 3] 0.0- 3.0 sec 99.5 MBytes 278 Mbits/sec
FEC HW support IP header and TCP/UDP hw checksum, support multi buffer descriptor transfer
one frame, but don't support HW TSO. And imx6q/dl SOC FEC Gbps speed has HW bus Bandwidth
limitation (400Mbps ~ 700Mbps), imx6sx SOC FEC Gbps speed has no HW bandwidth limitation.
The patch set just enable TSO feature, which is done following the mv643xx_eth driver.
Test result analyze:
imx6dl sabresd board: there have 82% improvement, since imx6dl FEC HW has bandwidth limitation,
the performance with SW TSO is a milestone.
Addition test:
imx6sx sdb board:
upstream still don't support imx6sx due to some patches being upstream... they use same FEC IP.
Use the SW TSO patches test imx6sx sdb board in internal kernel tree:
No SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 840Mbps, cpu loading is 100%.
SW TSO patch: tx bandwidth 942Mbps, cpu loading is 65%.
It means the patch set have great improvement for imx6sx FEC performance.
V2:
* From Frank Li's suggestion:
Change the API "fec_enet_txdesc_entry_free" name to "fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num".
* Summary David Laight and Eric Dumazet's thoughts:
RX BD entry number change to 256.
* From ezequiel's suggestion:
Follow the latest TSO fixes from his solution to rework the queue stop/wake-up.
Avoid unmapping the TSO header buffers.
* From Eric Dumazet's suggestion:
Avoid more bytes copy, just copying the unaligned part of the payload into first
descriptor. The suggestion will bring more complex for the driver, and imx6dl FEC
DMA need 16 bytes alignment, but cpu loading is not problem that cpu loading is
30%, the current performance is so better. Later chip like imx6sx Gigbit FEC DMA
support byte alignment, so there don't exist memory copy. So, the V2 version drop
the suggestion.
Anyway, thanks for Eric's response and suggestion.
V3:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Decide to drop RX BD entry number change for the SW TSO patch set.
I will generate one separate patch to increase RX BDs entry for interrupt coalescing feature which
will be supported in my later patch set.
V4:
* From David Laight's feedback:
Remove the conditional in .fec_enet_get_bd_index().
V5:
* Patch #4 update:
From David Laight's feedback:
"expect fec_enet_get_free_txdesc_num() to return one less than it does currently."
Change the function:
Return space available, 0..size-1. it always leave one free entry. Which is same as linux circ_buf.
Thanks for Eric and ezequiel's help and idea.
